Two **** jumping to escape ***** after air mattress fails

Seven people were ******* and a dozen injured after a ***** broke out at a hotel in the South Korean city of Bucheon.

Two people ***** after jumping out the windows onto an air mattress provided by the ***** department, after the mattress flipped.

Other victims were found in rooms on the eight floor, where the ***** is believed to have started because of an electrical fault.

Although the ***** did not spread throughout the building, the damage was extensive as the rooms were not equipped with sprinklers.

The nine-storey hotel was built in 2003, before the requirement for sprinklers was written into law, according to the city’s ***** department.

The ***** was first reported at 19:39 local time (11:39 GMT) and was extinguished by 22:26 on Thursday, the department said.

Police are investigating whether the hotel’s managers were in any way negligent.

The ***** department’s use of the air mattress is also being investigated.

Reports said a female victim caught the corner of the mattress as they landed, causing it to flip as a second male victim jumped.

Those injured are being treated in hospital with serious injuries, some caused by inhaling the smoke.
