Horror casino blaze sees 19 dead as people trapped in rooms leap to their deaths

DAILY STAR

At least 19 people have been killed with 60 others injured after a huge hotel casino in Cambodia became engulfed in flames in a horror incident.

Frantic clips showed people jumping out of windows to avoid burning to their deaths as onlookers begged for help.

One could be heard screaming “pump water, pump water” to try and save people trapped on the top of the towering hotel roof, which reaches more than 12 storeys at some points.

A number of those trapped tried to brave the jump, with two dying immediately from the impact of hitting the ground and five breaking their legs from the landing, according to Peerapan Srisakorn from the Aranyaprathet Rescue Foundation.
