Holy stool! I've never even been a firefighter, and *I* have heard of the Station Nightclub fire! Surprising that the Swiss could not/did not profit from that event.
Office dropped-ceiling panels tend to be fiberglass -- you can hold a blowtorch to them and not cause any trouble. You'd think the Swiss would have some basic understanding of construction safety.
The town where this happened is a high end resort town, full of modern construction. (My wife and I had a ski vacation there with my family, in the early 1980s.) So it's not like we're dealing here with century-old historic buildings or anything like that.
Station Nightclub, Warwick, RI. 100 dead.
You would think we learned fro it.
“We”might have learned from it. “They” obviously weren’t Great White fans.

Level of situational awareness...zero. Stunning. Tragic.
Did I read that correctly? Single entry/exit? So it was (literally) a death trap.
