The official building is now known to be almost certainly what is known as the government building the "Trade Union House" where anti-Maidan, anti-Kiev activists had holed themselves up after their camp was apparently destroyed. Some reports have it that nationalists and what have been deemed the "football fans" torched the building.

It is reported that there are videos circulating (real time videos) taken at the time by those who were inside the building as the building was burning and people were suffocating...

The BBC article was being updated while I was in the process of posting it.

It was the Trade Union House, and now the tally is 31. BBC says that Ukraine's interior ministry has not said who started the fire.

Obama lit a fire that could consume us all before it’s done. He has the matches because American voters wanted free cell phones.

RT’s headline:
38 people die after radicals set Trade Unions House on fire in Ukraine’s Odessa

“The Trade Unions House was set on fire by pro-Kiev radicals after they surrounded and destroyed the tent camp of anti-government activists that stood in front of the building on Odessa’s Kulikovo Field Square. It was torched in a storming attempt after some of the anti-Maidan activists rallying in the square barricaded themselves inside the building.”

The article notes that Molotovs were being used by both sides.

This sure to inflame tensions. Checking twitter now.

It was Breaking, and the BBC link showed in huge letters “BREAKING” right before I posted it.

Apparently the Admin Moderator dropped the Breaking on the “Topics” line.

I will place it in the “Front Page” section, as the Admin Moderator allows others who come on theses threads to, ahem, engage us in debate, place threads in Breaking and/or Front Page.
