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.

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.

Here's a screenshot of the note that got disappeared:

[Robert Mackey @RobertMackey]

Strange, there was a community note on this tweet a while ago, citing my reporting that what @PressSec said @elonmusk told her is not true, but now that note has been removed. I wonder why? Here are the facts again, for those who prefer not to be lied to:

Billionaires can write off the entire cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes, but teachers can only write off up to $300 of school supplies for their classrooms.

This is what an oligarchy looks like.

Republicans will tweet out their support for mass deportation right before they go set up their nativity scene that honors an unwed pregnant woman fleeing a country to ensure her unborn son is safe.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

Georgia's health department found 89% of maternal deaths were preventable.

Republican's solution? They fired every member of committee that dared to publish report.

They don't care if pregnant women die — Only that the statistics are kept secret.

Committee on Maternal Mortal ity's job is to collect data and make recommendations to reduce deaths and publish them in reports.

The Georgia committee’s most recent report found that of 113 pregnancy-related deaths, 101 had could of been prevented.

Specifically, the committee blamed the state’s abortion ban for some of the unnecessary deaths.

Now that Georgia Republicans have fired the entire Maternal Mortality Committee, they don't have to worry about any more inconvenient reports coming out that tell the truth — Abortion bans kill women.

Honestly it seems like Jake is going easy on him. Not that I want him to knock him out, but Mike is barely throwing any punches. He could easily attack and take him down if he wanted to. I guess I'm glad he doesn't want to 🤷🏻‍♀️ still this fight is a little disappointing #TysonPaul

Wtf is this decision?? Serrano is right, this is shady. The win belongs to her
