Guvern

Jan. 22 (UPI) -- At least 76 people, including children, were killed after fire swept through a 12-story hotel at a ski resort in northwestern Turkey with people trying to escape down bedsheets tied together and at least two jumping to their deaths. The blaze, which broke out as guests slept inside the Grand Kartal Hotel just outside Bolu, 100 miles northwest of the capital Ankara, in the early hours of Tuesday during a busy school holiday period, took firefighters 12 hours to put out .
