My heartfelt condolences. Feeling very sad, they were just poor people out to earn a living.
we will blame everyone else except ourselves
most likely the negligence and failure to comply with health and safety procedures is to be blamed
even if there is a suggestion of a sabotage then the lack of fire exit and ignoring potential fire hazards cant be ignored
there are some deadly fires in recent history BBC gives the list of the few
World's worst workplace fires
September 2012: At least 38 killed in a fire at a fireworks factory in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu
December 2011: Ninety people killed in a hospital fire in the Indian city of Calcutta
June 2010: More than 116 people killed in a fire which destroys shops and housing in Bangladesh
August 2004: A fire in a supermarket in Paraguay kills at least 364 people
December 2001: At least 280 people die in a fire in a shopping area of the Peruvian capital Lima
November 1993: More than 80 workers killed in a fire in a toy factory in southern China
May 1993: At least 188 people are killed in a fire at a Thai toy factory
March 1911: Fire in New York textile factory kills 146
blaming the powerless government officials is pointless, even if a steadfast and honest inspector refuses to take bribe and doesnt sign off the inspection, he will be replaced and someone else can be easily convinced to comply.
cost cuttings always results in human tragedy and bigger material losses. while this tragic memory will be vivid there will be some cosmetic measures in the shape of "orders" but wont be followed up. something very familiar in third word countries, we are a third word country for a reason and the biggest one is corruption and bypassing laws to save some coins.
let me make a guess, if the factory is privately owned then the owner will do a runner until another tragedy washes away the memory from this one.
there is no chance of learning from mistake and mishap here. Karachi burnt earlier too when blocks of shops were scorched to earth due to uncontrollable fire.
for the time being most of us will pick our usual targets to blame.. you know them all
I hope no coverups if someone's responsible he's to tell the truth, loosened up EHS code, or something else.
Rest In Peace. What a tragic day.
you hope too much, did anything come up when the Karachi commercial sector burnt not long ago?
