In the case of The Station, yeah, there was an exit by the bar in an adjoining room. HOWEVER, it was painted the same color as the wall, so it wouldn't stand out; it would be difficult to find even with proper lighting. If you factor in smoke so thick that you wouldn't be able to see the fire, let alone the exit signs, then how is someone to get out in a moment's notice?<br /><br />There are only two answers I have to that question. One is to arrive early, so you can get the 'lay of the land', as it were. Two, as previous commenters said, just AVOID such places! Just from a personal safety standpoint, places like this are dangerous.<br /><br />MarkyMarkMarkyMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-73954430220831370012012-06-17T10:01:01.320-07:002012-06-17T10:01:01.320-07:00There are reasons why night clubs tend to have an ...There are reasons why night clubs tend to have an overwhelming number of fatalities, including a massive number of people packed like sardines, very loud so you cannot hear well (it's often dark too), everyone's likely intoxicated and unable to think clearly, etc. Now that I'm older I would never be found in one of those places for the safety reasons alone.millenniumflyhttp://rethinksurvival.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-82863431759773602352012-06-17T08:53:18.567-07:002012-06-17T08:53:18.567-07:00If you can't avoid the location, perhaps you m...If you can't avoid the location, perhaps you might be able to defeat the lock on the exit.

The water on the cloth turns to steam, is inhaled, and can cause severe lung injuries.

You can't always do it, but it's usually a short list of places where these sorts of things happen where evacuating is very dangerous -- nightclubs, crowded malls (think mega-sales around holidays), movie theaters, banks during an unfolding economic crisis (sorry, couldn't resist), and you could probably add to the list. Most of these places are also bad news from a personal security standpoint in general, so avoiding them is almost always a good idea anyway. Just stay away, and you won't have to worry about escaping during the mad rush for the exits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
