On the afternoon of October 16, 2022, at the Pacific Trade Center in Marzahner Str. 17 13053 Berlin had a major incident when the show „Ao Dai and food“ was going on, attendees described “hearing an explosion” followed by smoke. Electricity was completely cut off, and hundreds of people squeezed out through the only dark corridor. According to a participant, “The fire alarm system and the exit lights are not working.”
During the panic, many Vietnamese had to escape through the window of this building in a very dangerous way, including children.
It is known that this is a performance program called “Ao Dai and Food” which is staged and collected by the organizers.
Attending were Mrs. Nguyen Minh Hanh, the wife of the Vietnamese Ambassador to Germany, and many Vietnamese people living here.
According to information from German media, the police or fire department in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin was not alerted when the power outage, smoke, and flight of hundreds of people at the time occurred. However, the construction and urban management department here said that it “will set up an inspection team to visit the site to check fire prevention, fire fighting, and construction at this hall house.”
Up to now, there is no information on the extent of damage to people and property.
