Kuala Limpur, Malaysia ? Hundreds of screaming and coughing moviegoers fled a cinema complex in the Petronas Twin Towers on Friday night after a fire filled a shopping mall attached to the Malaysian landmark with thick, acrid smoke. No serious injuries were reported.

About 700 to 800 people rushed from the 13-screen Tanjong Golden Village facility on the third floor of the Suria KLCC mall abutting towers shortly before midnight, witnesses said.

“It was really terrible. People were running helter-skelter. We were choking and coughing, and it’s a miracle there was no stampede,” said Minati Panda, a Kuala Lumpur resident who was at the movies with her husband.

The fire started in a stairway landing outside a restaurant on the first level of the Suria KLCC, but its cause was not immediately known, said fire official Mahinder Singh. He said foul play had not been ruled out.

One woman was taken to an ambulance, where she was given oxygen.

The glass-and-steel Petronas Twin Towers, once the world’s tallest skyscraper before being upstaged by a building in Taiwan, are located in downtown Kuala Lumpur and are Malaysia’s most famous landmark, symbolizing the country’s economic progress.
