It is my understanding that the individual's account is legit

SOMETHING this stiff and stilted in style? Man, you're easy ...

Take or leave the narrative, just look at the two pictures, realize that the human beings jammed in the doorways looking at you have only a few minutes to live, and will spend it burning alive.

Then stop nitpicking.

It really happened, _Jim.

Keep BUMP'ing. Thanks in advance.

Take up your doubts with the folks over at whatever web-site it originated from. They apparently know the guy.

My point is, and remains the analogy.

The account seems consistent with the witness that was on O'Reilly tonight, the young man with dark hair, who said he couldn't see in the smoke but thought he was going in the direction of the door, and found himself scratching along the wall, hoping it was the wall that led to the door. All of a sudden he reached the doorway and fell outside, with people pushing behind him.

Tell you what _Jim, why don't you substract the whole eyewitness account that you are taking issue with? Call it a fake account. Don't even consider it at all.

Now while I would agree with you that it isn't an earthshaking type of thing (in the sense that world history won't be changed by it), some people happen to see things, a lesson imparted by a certain circumstance.

Perhaps all you saw were a bunch of kids out partying who 'deserved' it.

Couldn't the 'stiffness and stiltednes' be due to someone 'else' doing a 'proof-reading' translation?
I read ANOTHER first-hand account earlier, and it made very LITTLE sense on the first read. It took a while to 'figure out' where the sentences started and ended. Where one subject/one thought ended and ANOTHER started up.
