In a small town near Dera Ghazi Khan, Pakistan, at least 22 women and children, including the bride, have died and 30 injured after a fire broke out in a tent at a wedding party.
This is really very sad. Inna lillahe wa inna ilayhe raaje’oon. May Allah forgive their sins and grant them a high status in Paradise and give strength and patience to their loved ones left behind, Ameen.

man that's so horrible =( May Allah(swt) give them all a place in Jannat and bring their families peace.
Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
I've always been against fireworks as it is a waste of time and money; and in some cases it wastes lives as well. The proof is before you. I have no idea why people are unable to realize it. No, the stupid traditions must be met, fireworks must be fired, money must be wasted, lives of others must be put at risk.
Fireworks isn't mentioned on BBC, but it's mentioned on Jang.
Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
I think the main problem might have been that people began to panic causing a stampede. If everyone had just followed proper procedures, I think they (or atleast the majority of the people) would have been able to get out quickly and more safely.
Re: …A Wedding Tragedy…
True. The panic caused a lot of injuries and some deaths. To make things worse, some house’s wall collapsed on some children and they died as a result.

Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
these things happen more often than u think, mostly from celebratory gun shots.
Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
^ (Although I am against that 'tradition' as well) the thing with guns being shot into the air is that there is a very small chance that someone will get hurt or die from it. And if that does happen, it is usually just one person, where as something like what's being told in this news story is a much greater tragedy.
Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
heart wrenching story.
leads to thinking ...just why people have life destructive elements around when they celebrate some event.
May the all rest in peace. amen.

I heard about it last night on Yahoo News. but according to their source it wasn’t fireworks. Instead, it was
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061217/ap_on_re_as/pakistan_wedding_deaths
What is sad is that the men were in a separate tent. They came out fine out of this. I don’t know how it happened, or why it did…but Allah reham.
Re: ...A Wedding Tragedy...
^ Yeah, each news source has a different story. But the point is that innocent people died on this very important day.
CNN says it's the high intensity lights
Jang says it's the fireworks
BBC says it's the short circuit
Who knows who's right but it's very sad.
