Temple On Fire
 Kollam, India (CNN)The disaster came too quickly for Bhadran to understand what had just happened.

One moment, he and two friends were celebrating at a local temple festival in the southern Indian city of Kollam. Minutes later, his two friends were dead.
"I did not know what happened," said Bhadran, who gave only one name. "There was a huge fireball, and it was all over in five minutes. Once I reached the ground, there were dead bodies all around."
The blast Sunday at the Puttingal temple killed at least 105 people and injured more than 500, authorities said.
Sparks from a fireworks ignited a stockpile of firework causing a larger blaze, local officer K Laljy said.

  People gather at the site of the explosion and roof collapse as workers go through the debris looking for victims.
