@Tcaetano1970 @smashbaals bc evangelicals don't have a two century long history of zionism. at least try pretending your entire worldview isn't based solely on your own recent memory. you're saying no there's no deeply rooted ideology, they just saw something on the news last year. come on argue better
@rynothethird@IFish32@infinite_aether@GregAbbott_TX The point is those aren't leftist memes lol, dude. They're "far right," straight from 4chan. As he said, further right than you can even comprehend. The mainstream boomer/rhino/evangelical/facebook/gop area of politics you're in is fairly moderate by comparison.
@UTSA a bit late, but this photo is not from 1974. The Multidisciplinary Studies building and the music side of the Arts building were not completed until 1980.
@TVOCNews OP deleted their last post claiming this to be Kyiv, changing it to Belgrade, Serbia. This is actually footage of Baghdad, Iraq from 2003. https://t.co/ON0thwgwgq
@nigroeneveld What pictures of the lobbies/ballrooms do show however, is plenty of smoke detectors. It's unfortunate that Russia still clings to the outdated principles of full spot smoke detection as a cheaper alternative to fire sprinklers. Tragic consequences.
@nigroeneveld If the local fire service is not equipped to stretch long runs of hose into the building, hose outlets and possibly (FD use) cabinets containing hoses, nozzles, and spanner wrenches should have been provided at strategic locations throughout.
@nigroeneveld Buildings of this scale have been, buy and large, fully sprinklered since the mid 20th century in North America. Even the idea of a huge group A occupancy being unsprinklered scares me.
@nigroeneveld Under American standards, a municipal water system can be expected to supply over 3000 gpm @ 20 psi residual, enough to supply several aerials at once, and of course the water purveyor can be called upon to raise the pressure if necessary.
@nigroeneveld I was also alarmed by the firefighting response to the incident. The use of bucket drops in urban firefighting is unheard of in North America. They only had one aerial up. To me, this suggests an insufficient water supply in Moscow.
@nigroeneveld Thanks for posting this. My first thoughts after seeing the blaze were on how such a fire could spread as so quickly and to such magnitude in a building that should have very light fuel content. The only sure image of sprinklers I could find was of the parking garage.
