Much as I love what The Ghost Ship looked like before the fire, all I could feel while looking at the photos was anger.
Anger at the man who owned the warehouse and couldn’t be bothered to consider fire safety measures. There were no sprinklers, no smoke detectors, no clear exits (the makeshift stairwell to the second floor was built using pallets).
So much loss for no good reason.

It reminds me of the Station Nightclub disaster. The found video footage has been used by organizations like the NFPA for both training and awareness of proper fire protection.

What saddens me is that horrible stuff like this has to happen first.
