Why would a city even allow a building so tall that they couldn’t reach?

This building is toast. I suspect that there are a number of fatalities. I suspect arson. It doesn’t spread from floor to floor that quickly. There should be fire-block material between floors. Heck, I lived in a 3 story condo, and there was a layer of concrete between floors.

America came up with a number of fire code regulations because of massive deaths in factories and nightclubs.

The rest of the world didn’t bother to adopt many of those practices (including doors that open outward so that people fleeing don’t get piled up at the doors that don’t have sufficient room to open inward).

...... I looked this up and apparently it is a real thing in the UK .... There are badly designed fridges with Eco-Friendly Coolant that Causes Refrigerators to Explode.


This reminds me of a scene from some spoof spy movie involving a Ford Pinto. But it’s green, so that’s O.K. If it were the U.S. in the 80’s, the lawyers would end up owning the company, and the victims/their survivors would get at least something. Ah for the good old days.

Look at all of the tall buildings, here in US, that are even taller than this building.

Wow. The last few times I stayed in a hotel I was on the 10th floor. Same room, actually.

I was wondering if I should stay up even that high. A few years ago, I was in a hotel around the 9th floor when I was awakened (had drifted off watching TV) and saw the hangers in the closet smacking one another. (I had clothes drying out on one of the doors so it was open).

Knew it had to be an earthquake. It had rolled several hundred miles and shook the building.

A wave of violent refrigerator explosions in Britain reportedly is believed to have been caused by an attempt to make the machines more “green.”

The five reported explosions — which destroyed the refrigerators and the kitchens that housed them — appear to coincide with a widespread switch to ‘Greenfreeze’ technology, the Daily Mail reported.

The new refrigerators use a different cooling system running on gases that are supposed to be less harmful to the ozone layer, but refrigeration contractor Graeme Fox told the Daily Mail that if the flammable natural gases leak into the fridge, they could trigger a powerful blast.

One woman whose fridge exploded three weeks ago told the Mail it caused more than $16,000 worth of damage. Another told the paper she thought an earthquake had struck when she and her sleeping family were rattled awake by her exploding fridge.

An independent engineer confirmed that a gas leak is suspected in the most recent fridge explosion, the Daily Mail reported.

Institute of Refrigeration President Jane Gartshore told the Mail that it’s theoretically possible that the blasts could be caused by an isobutane leak but added that “there are hundreds of millions of these fridges and these incidents are very, very rare.”

There are more than 300 million Greenfreeze fridges worldwide, the Mail reported.

Interesting.

The eco friendly refrigerant is essentially PROPANE or close to it as I understand it. Cheaper than the ozone saving alternatives. A friend tried to convince me this was a good thing to do instead of spending nearly $600 for a 20 lb canister of the “old” refrigerant to top up my HVAC unit last year. I demurred and sprang for the $600 even though I was selling the house.

Thanks. I agree with your take on it.
