"The fire spread so quickly that by the time firefighters arrived, workers had already started jumping out of windows to escape the flames."
"Firefighters were delayed in accessing the building because of fears it would collapse, and could not immediately pour water on to the blaze."
"More than 500 firefighters, police and emergency personnel were deployed to the scene, along with two unmanned firefighting robots to cool the building."
"Almost all of those killed in the fire were reportedly found inside a third-floor space that had been used as a gym locker room."
