And yet, I am sure I have read on 3 different threads, claims that the other exits were not locked! Perhaps these mainly came from owners or operators. But it would seem to be an easy detail to validate. Or perhaps we need to stop printing blatant lies!

1. Possibly the case is that whether this guy is jailed for a year, or for life, will hinge on such details, such as the doors.

 

2. RIP the deceased. I believe some are in a coma, but if not, how horrible that your last week was spent in agony, chaos and bewilderment.

I'm sure the first responders to the fire have a better idea of the truth.
