     A rapid-fire chain of explosions shook the building. Within minutes, the 107,000-square-foot warehouse in Icheon, southeast of Seoul, became an inferno — and a death ​trap ​for 38 workers. Toxic, ink-black smoke billowed up so fast that survivors later said they could hardly find the stairways out.
