Bangalore: When the first flashes came on Kannada TV channels of a fire in the seven-storey office and commercial complex in Bangalore central business district, not many viewers thought it would end in nine deaths.
"I thought the channels were making it big because of the visuals they were getting. At first, it appeared that many people in the upper floors of the complex were simply looking out," said K. Vanajakshi, a housewife.
