Re: Fire in Vladivostok
The fire was in a bank office. Some people evacuated, other filed valuable document and locked everything up thus ended up cut off from the egress. The first fire truck arrived 40 minutes later (that was the good news) but could not do a thing because it was not a ladder truck (that was the bad news). Blah blah blah.... You can see that they did not start spraying water way after the ladder truck arrives, go figure why it took so long. 5 jumpers died at the scene, 12 in the hospital. On a personal note, my uncle was having a heart attack and it took the ambulance 90 minutes to arrive. Lovely country!  |

Re: Fire in Vladivostok
This video really bothered me, of all the videos I've watched this is in the top 5 for me being uncomfortable to view. However, I've decided to get all my loved ones fire kits for their homes as Christmas gifts... the breathing mask etc. |

Re: Fire in Vladivostok
Everytime I see videos of buildings on fire with people trapped inside, I flashback to 9/11.

Re: Fire in Vladivostok
i can watch people jump to their death all day long and not feel a thing if they are commiting suicide. but something like this really gets to me. they don't have much of a choice. what a sad way to have to end ones life if they want to live. |

Re: Fire in Vladivostok
Horrendous response by the fire department. What the fuck is Russia playing at? How is it a super power? Seriously? It can't even provide basic emergency services for its people  |
