RE: Should Politicians Be Held Responsible When Their Mistakes Result in Death?
I remember watching the news and thinking why went the fire fighters doing more to get the people out, it was very bizarre to see that people were screening out their windows and there was no effort to get them out somehow, they were clearly ill equipted and had little knowledge of how to deal with high rise building fires.
There is no getting them out of that situation, unfortunately. Some inventor needs to invent a parachute that works at such a low height. Not easy to do, as no one has invented it yet.
Yes I think the firefighters were shocked themselves and didn't know what to do.
If the building was constructed properly, the fire would not have spread how it did, the firefighters were presented with a sutuation which should never occur, and for which they therefore have not trained.
