'Jumped to save my life': Survivor on deadly Dhaka fire

Dozens were killed and many injured after a blaze tore through a seven-storey building in the Bangladesh capital. One survivor told Reuters that two of his co-workers had been killed. He survived by smashing a window and jumping out. Firefighters used a crane to battle the flames, then to rescue those stranded on the roof. One official said the fire began at a popular biryani restaurant on Thursday night, before quickly spreading to upper floors.
