Many of the victims were believed to be women and children.

Though I wouldn't have expected women and children at an electronics show, that's really too bad.

That is quite possibly the most insensitive thing that I have ever read

Dark humor is a staple to help people cope with tragic news.

You total wanker!

Witnesses described a horrific scene to AP, saying there were many screaming people and rescuers were pulling out corpse after corpse.

......dead bodies are strewn around, most of them are charred beyond recognition.

Oh right I can see the funny side of it now. You are absolutely f***ing hilarious!

That is absolutely terrible! I feel so bad for the affected families!

Trade fairs, where goods are exhibited to consumers, are commonplace in India. But there is very regard for safety, with bamboo poles holding up cloth tents, according to AP reports.

I hope this means they will rethink safety for future shows. Makes me glad for OSHA for once.

Sorry. I guess I didn't realize some of you were so attached to Vista.
