In that night club that night panicked people trampled each other and created a human trap in the doorway out, caught halfway out of the exit door, the news cameras caught their last moments in horror. If only ... panic did not rule them, that whole group could have made it through the door, with some burns, but alive. Panic kills.
Why panic or sow fear on discussion boards like this? It helps not. It adds to the burdens of those actually trying to make the dangerous situation better, to save lives.
This behavior -- engaging in such sport and idle pastime for their own thrills and chills -- which we see here on these FR threads -- I despise.
There is a video from the inside of that building at the beginning of the fire that I have seen several times during FD training exercises that does not appear to be available on You-tube etc.
Yes people did panic. Yes they did pile up at the exits. Most tried to go out the same door they entered despite the others they passed on the way.
The foam sound proofing burned and spread -shockingly- fast.
Panic was just a small part of that tragedy.
