Fire at airshow in India destroys 300 cars


NEW DELHI, Feb 23: A fire at an airshow in India destroyed three hundred cars on Saturday, the latest accident to mar the government-run event. The most likely cause was a 'dry grass fire aided by heavy winds', said a fire official in the southern city of Bengaluru where the show is taking place. There were no reports of casualties. The Aero India show, run by the country's defence ministry, aims to become one of the world's premier aerospace events, but has been troubled by accidents this year. — Reuters
