Vous êtes locataire et vous suffoquez dans votre logement qui devient une bouilloire thermique pendant la canicule ?
Le gouvernement pense à vous : mercredi, il présentera en Conseil des ministres un projet de loi permettant à votre propriétaire bailleur de repousser pour cinq ans supplémentaires la rénovation énergétique de votre logement.
Irresponsable ? Criminel ? Non, juste macroniste.
The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram.
100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show.
I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell.
You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures.
Here is the actual science of what you are watching:
1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk.
2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time.
3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate.
4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared.
5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed.
Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit.
They didn't die because of Instagram.
They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.
Évidemment les gamins ont hurlé (il y a quand-même Parcoursup et tout en terminale 🙄) mais que voulez-vous...
C'est le jeu ma pauvre Lucette : quand tu votes pour une chaussure à semelle compensée, tu es représenté par une chaussure à semelle compensée.
@CBreteuil Oooh, c'est le journal que je lisais chez mes grands-parents, on regardait la page des blagues ensemble 😍 c'est tout un souvenir qui se réactive !
Une jolie dame est passée dans le couloir du train et a chuchoté à son bébé « ouaaah, y a des gens qui font des choses incroyables » en regardant mon travail au crochet 🥹
Je sais pas si ma modestie pourra s'en remettre.
@Asiatitude Not so fun fact : dans les 5,1% de la fonction publique territoriale il y a ce qu'il faut de métiers pénibles : les éboueurs, les agents de la propreté urbaine, les ATSEM, tout ça... Forcément ça use un peu avant d'arriver à l'âge de la retraite
Ce soir j'ai découvert que je savais faire des tractions en pronation ET en supination, alors Manu Max et ses p'tits poings, autant vous dire que ça m'impressionne pas.
