Like everyone else you probably have read and see the news about the 20-story building that burned real fast few days ago in London.
I won't include any link. To me it's like living in a third-world country where human lives are disposable.
There is no mystery here, that building wasn't up to it, with bad flammable external panels, without working sprinklers, with just one staircase, with tenants being told to stay put, with firemen not able to reach higher than 12th floor, brief a total human fiasco in a city that is supposed to be living in the year 2017.
Oh, it is 2017, and yet it feels like 1666.
It makes you realize a lot of things, just not in London but everywhere. The values we accord to life, to money, to classes, to education, to ...
Inadequacies; it's the word that requires improvement. It's the story of our humanity.
If you have an important job, like protecting human lives, building safe places, buildings, skyscrapers, if you work in cities full of people living above ground...it seems normal to me to be ready. What we saw here is deficiency on many levels. It is very sad, and the people are not performing their jobs; what they do is getting a paycheck from the higher irresponsible builders of societies...the financial class world leaders.
And it will happen again; we simply cannot change what we haven't learned from the last three billion years. It's a way of speech, in view of the amplitude.
My deepest condolences to all the families and friends and all people from London who lost their precious ones...women, men and children.
If it can happen there it can happen here and everywhere. Those external panels were a huge mistake, if you have read about it.
And to not have sprinklers working on a highrise building...is completely unthinkable.
Modern society? Sadly not. ...Third-world country in dire needs to progress in the right direction. I've read reports from fire experts, from high ranking officials in London, from the fire department, from the people who design, build high structures, etc., and what a mess! To me they all have to bare responsibilities for jobs not properly executed. ...Deficiencies @ a high level; inadequacies in a modern world of the year 2017.
I had to share some of my immediate thoughts from the last few days. We're all in it together no matter what. So feel free too.
It also brought me back to the Oakland fire, where many kids lost their lives. Again, the fire department, the building codes enforcers, the owners, the responsibilities of our society towards the most precious thing in life; our babies, our children, our people, human lives.
