$6 per square foot would have saved 100 people.


$6/sq ft. 
Whoah. 
We can't justify spending THAT kind of money for a sprinkler system. We probably won't ever even need it. F**k that!

13 years today 100 people died a horrible death. Knocked over, trampled, suffocated, choked, lungs burnt, burned alive.....don't look at the picture at the bottom of this post if you can't handle seeing dead bodies laying where they took their last breath. Straight from the photo archives of the Station Nightclub fire in Warwick, RI. 

A lot of things went wrong that night, as is the case with catastrophes. It's never just one thing. 

A lot of codes had been violated. But nobody cares until it's too late. 

People that know me, or know of me, might think I'm a little over the top when it comes to life safety codes. I don't really care. Because when it comes down to it, codes are there for your protection. I like to bring things to light. I like to open people's eyes. 

Back to $6/ sq ft. That's about what it would cost to have had a fire sprinkler system installed at The Station Nightclub. 
Yeah. Maybe more, depending on some variables. The sky is the limit, depending on what you want....bells and whistles. 

Don't forget about my previous post regarding the nightclub fire in a Minneapolis nightclub three days before The Station....where nobody died, in a very similar event. (Ridiculously similar actually).

Let me tell you this. You CAN afford it. You can't afford NOT to install fire sprinklers.

Plain and simple.
