Late on Dec. 28, a devastating fire broke out at the Grand Diamond City hotel and casino in Proipet, Cambodia. Videos captured by onlookers show flames erupting from the building as the massive complex was engulfed by the fire. It's believed that hundreds of Cambodian and Thai employees were trapped inside the casino while the fire blazed. Devastating images show desperate people jumping from the windows to escape. Local authorities have confirmed that at least 10 lives have been lost and dozens of people have been injured, many of whom are in critical condition. It took 360 emergency workers and 11 fire trucks to control the blaze and they are now searching the wreckage for survivors and the deceased.
