South Korea: Warehouse Fire Kills 40Fire tore through a refrigeration warehouse under construction in Ichon, south of Seoul, killing 40 workers. A local fire official said all the dead were found in the basement. More than 500 firefighters fought the blaze. The cause was undetermined, although the workers were injecting urethane foam into basement walls at the time. Among the dead were 13 ethnic Koreans from China, the Yonhap news agency reported. China has a sizable ethnic Korean minority and in recent years some have migrated to South Korea to seek employment. Like other foreign migrants, they often end up doing difficult and low-paying work.
