All afternoon police, investigators and 4exhausted firefighters came and went, wondering what went wrong. All told, at least 29 people were killed. All of them were workers doing renovations on a nightclub housed in the bottom of this 16-story apartment block. 

The 5slick 6masquerade nightclub looks 7out of place on the ordinary-looking residential street. Seema Sawanja lives next door and heard screams when the fire first started. 

"I used to go to the nightclub from time to time." she says. 

"The bar had one entrance and an exit. There's only one way in and one way out." 

From here, you can see quite clearly where the fire would have started on these lower floors and then 8raced up the side of this building. There have been several people 9detained already as part of this investigation, including the business manager of the club and the person responsible for doing the 10metalwork renovation inside. Now, in addition to the fire crews 11on scene, there are also three 12occupational safety experts here doing their own investigation into what went wrong. 

Across the road, the neighbors invite us to see the 13aftermath from their 14vantage point. They ask not to be 15identified. 

"It's like a 16maze inside. There are so many 17casualties, because they couldn't escape", she says. 

"The workers were kids trying to earn a bit of money. I cried a lot, because I saw these young guys entering the club in the morning before I went to the doctor. I am so sorry this happened."
