Tragic start to 2009 in Thailand

Thailand is mourning a tragic start to 2009 following the events in Bangkok on New Year's Eve. 

At least 61 people died with more than 200 injured following a blaze at Santika, a Bangkok nightclub, believed to have started after fireworks were let off inside the building.

The night was the last ever to be held at this venue as the owner had failed to extend the lease.

The video below shows the terrible scenes.
