so sad. that's a lot of life lost
i really think automatic sprinkler systems should become standard in any high rise residential building
they're effective in saving lives since they act immediately instead of waiting for firefighters to arrive
and actually have even been proven t cause less water damage to property than the firefighters' loads of water
so the building owners can consider it an investment if they don't care about human lives being saved

That tall ass building also didn't have a fire escape. They don't give a damn about people in the hood.

ridiculous. It's sad cuz most people don't think of these things cuz naturally and understandably we don't expect or anticipate it to happen to us personally
Either that or they just don't have the means to be picky about safety etc . when the primary goal is simply to get a roof over their heads
Hopefully this tragedy brings some attention to changes that can and should be made
Nothings 100% full proof but it doesn't have to be devastating
my heart :stressed: :'( :'(

Too sad.
And I hear it was from a space heater.
Makes me wonder if they didn't have running heat.
I'm reading that the heat was functional and working - not sure how well - they were using a space heater to help supplement.
