In Reply to: Do you think 'someone' is responsible for factory fire tragedy. Or each individual should have paid attention? posted by Smelly_Socks on December 6, 2016 at 15:26:23:
I think that the people who lived in that warehouse did so for monetary reasons. I don't know what the rent was, but it was probably cheap compared to where else they might live. I expect that they realized that the place wasn't safe, but took the chance because most people believe that bad things happen to other people. That's why they text and drive, don't wear seat belts etc. People get away with the philosophy of it won't happen to me until it happens to them.
The people living there were definitely partially responsible for what happened to them in my opinion. The owner of the building and the local regulatory agencies are also responsible. The people who died won't have to pay for their portion of the blame. I expect that the city will end up paying.
