Three Nigerian migrants have died after they jumped out of windows of a public house building to escape a fire in the southern French city of Marseille.

The incident happened shortly after 5 a.m on Saturday, July 17, when a fire broke out of the building in the housing estate "Les Flamants" where migrants from Nigeria are known to squat.

A two-year-old and an adult were also seriously hurt in the blaze inside the ten-floor building, Marseille public prosecutor, Dominique Laurens, said.

The child was very seriously burned. Nine other people reportedly sustained less serious injuries.

Life generally is not just easy.

they got scared and i guess they decided to jump rather than get burned alive... most people would try to escape a fire and fall to their death (probably what happened here). two people who actually jumped survived and are in hospital.

BTW the fire started outside in the common area/stairs of the building and they would have survived like everyone else in the building, if they didnt panic and stay in their apt... instead, as they saw the flammes in the common area, they panicked and rush to escape via the window. everyone in the building survived apart from these guys.

as you can see from the image below, they tried to tie bedsheets to escape:

What a sad incident.
May their souls rest in peace.
