I just commented on the Kotaku article, but it seems like fire safety must have been terrible (bizarre for such an earthquake prone country) for so many to die. Here you’d expect protected fire stairs and sprinklers in a commercial building, but have no idea how the Japanese do things.

An industry responsible for so many childhoods, and paying such meagre wages, does not deserve this.
You’ve got to be a special breed of crazy and entitled to think that any alleged copyright spat could be a capital crime, but unfortunately crazy and creepy is an integral part of Japanese animation’s target market .
RIP to literally half of this company’s staff.

I was thinking that in the back of my head. Any building that prevents the escape of half of its occupants is pretty questionable.

I’m playing a show this weekend where the orchestra is tucked into the far back corner of a theater in a converted storefront. There is no exit at the back on my side, and I don’t know if there is an exit at the back of the other side. But I’m going to find out tomorrow night. If there were a fire, with only a single exit out the front, that place is a bloody deathtrap.

There should be an exit in back somewhere. Any public or work space in the US will require two means of egress.

And I mean to find it.

Jesus almighty Christ no one deserves to go out like that. I get that people may criticize KyoAni’s work but fucking hell. I just hope they recover.

i havnt read into it much, but i saw it was arson, and the guy was running around with a flammable liquid setting the place on fire. most buildings are designed so that there is a second egress, but if the guy was that nuts and really bent on killing, he could have lit up both entrances, or maybe chained them shut.

Building looks to have ground floor windows though, so there’d hopefully be other opportunities to get out (though, I didn’t see if they could and an earlier post today highlighted that windows are not always so fragile). In any event, it seems like most of the dead were on the upper floors, which suggests difficulty getting down and/ or not being alerted to the fire quickly enough (admittedly not since I was in school have I been in a building where anyone evacuated when the fire alarm went off, everyone, including myself, just assumes they are tests or false alarms).

As someone who has been raised on Clannad, K-On!, and Haruhi — this was incredibly distressing. Wishing the best for all those affected by this tragedy.
