Bangkok pub fire kills 27: How blocked exits turned bar into a tinderbox

A fire at the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao pub in Bangkok's Chatuchak district killed 27 and injured 63.

The bar rapidly filled with smoke, forcing patrons toward blocked exits near the bathrooms.

Officials identified blocked exits as a key factor turning the pub into a deadly tinderbox.

The blaze is one of Thailand's deadliest nightlife fires in recent years.
