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.

@London_W4 This was done to honour the Bangladeshi soldiers and their families who moved here after WW2 ended and helped rebuild Whitechapel. Their descendants form a bustling community in Whitechapel to this day. You dishonour them and their legacy with this disgusting ragebate.

Sarm Heslop disappeared from her boyfriend’s catamaran in March 2021 in the US Virgin Islands. Her passport, phone and wallet were all left on board.

I urge everyone to share this post. Disgusting treatment by @waitrose My daughter Sadie Travis used to work with this young man, who is a lovely lad. He deserves better. Shame on Waitrose🤬

Hopefully the @USVIPD will start listening to the women still able to tell their stories #JusticeForSarm

[FindSarm @FindSarm]

A sad read this morning, from a girl we do not know who has come forward to tell her story from her time onboard Siren Song.
Coming forward is a brave thing to do. Her story is upsetting and has left us all a little shaken #JusticeForSarm

I’m watching the BBC documentary on Sarm Heslop. Please do watch it. Five years since Sarah Everard. Different places, same pattern: women disappear, women die, men lie, men are protected. Always men. If every headline ends with a man, why aren’t men the ones fixing it? #FindSarm

[FindSarm @FindSarm]

We must find out what happened to #SarmHeslop last seen in Cruz Bay on 7 March 2021 #JusticeForSarm

She might not be here to say it.

But let’s not let death stop Janey Godley from giving the middle finger to Donald Trump.

Let’s do it for dear friend Janey.

[Channel 4 @Channel4]

CHANNEL 4, SO BAD IT COULDN’T BE NAMED CHANNEL 1, ARE SHOWING OVER 100 UNTRUTHS THAT THEY SAY (FALSELY) HAVE BEEN TOLD BY YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT (NOBEL PEACE PRIZE DESERVING DONALD J TRUMP) AT 10PM TONIGHT. WILL THEY SHOW 100 TIMES DONALD J TRUMP WAS HANDSOME AND RIGHT? NO.

This is genocide denial.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about cruel people having unprecedented wealth and power over all of us.

[Ruqaiya @ruqaiya_h]

They want us to believe Gary Linekar and the guy from Kneecap are terrorists while we are watching a genocide unfold before our very eyes, live-streamed in 4k

I'm really struggling to understand why the Jewish ethnostate is allowed to murder children every day - make them suffer in the worst possible ways because they were born Palestinian and not Jewish - and we have to just sit here and watch them do it. How is this happening?

[Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם @yuval_abraham]

This is one of the main villages you saw in No Other Land. Today it was destroyed by the Israeli army.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Today small children in Gaza are dying of starvation.

Just a mile away hundreds of trucks sit full of food.

The IDF blocking them entering.

This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.
