I am flabbergasted that a hi-rise structure of this magnitude, especially a residential occupancy, was not equipped with a fire sprinkler system. Did I read that right somewhere? Has that been confirmed?
Completely mind-boggling. I wouldn’t have stepped foot in that building beyond the 2nd or maybe 3rd floor.
And the Wiki page posted earlier says it didn’t have sprinklers, that they had been lobbied for but the government couldn’t come up with the money.

Just wow. Just damn.
Government owned housing.
