Fire in Karachi Shopping Mall

Police fear that most of the missing may have died, as rescue workers try to find bodies among the rubble. On Tuesday, firefighters continue to clear the charred debris of a massive commercial center in Karachi, Pakistan, in an attempt to locate 63 people still missing after a fire that lasted nearly two days and killed 21. The fire, the largest the city has seen in over a decade, broke out late on Saturday and quickly spread through the multi-story 'Jewel Plaza' commercial center, which houses more than 1,200 shops owned by families selling wedding clothes, children's toys, pottery, and much more.
