Think of the kind of greed that would make a man lock the doors in a fire to keep people from paying. Just think about that for a minute.

This is a heartwrenching story. And I hope the owner is charged with everyone's death.

Shades of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. The owner had locked all the exits to prevent employee pilferage. That plus inadequate fire escapes and fire equipment, killed 146, mostly young girls working as seamstresses.
Triangle Fire
I guess these folks are just about 100 years behind the times.

security staff locked doors to prevent customers from running out without payingOkay, so you prevent customers from taking merchandise that was burned up anyway. Nice. Enjoy the flames in Hell.

What a bunch of lunatics. Put this one in the same class as that story about the Saudi girls who burned to death in their school because they couldn't appear outside without a veil.

God rest their souls. My God also take care of the owner.
This reminds me of the 1942 Coconut Grove fire in Boston. There were lots of mistakes, but a couple of exit doors were bolted shut so people couldn't skip out on their bill. They had always been shut, even before the fire. Over 500 people died. The fire changed fire laws across the country. For example, many bodies were found piled at the entrance glass revolving doors as it had stopped working. Any time those door are in use today, there has to be a regular door on each side. Also, there were all sorts of flammable decorations to create the 'Coconut Grove' theme. Lots of straw, plastic, fake trees, etc. The fire started in a lounge when a 16-year old busboy was changing a lightbulb on the satin covered ceiling which caught fire and spread very quickly. He used a match because it was dark. Unfortunately, that ceiling was the dance floor for the club's upper level. People were dancing as the flames shot through the floor.
The Coconut Grove fire was responsible for revamping fire laws everywhere.

I wonder what the libertarian anarchists, who oppose any public regulations including those related to fire safety, think about this incident.
