re: #7 Belafon

It’s horrible.

When I lived in Japan I often dreaded going into some older buildings. I think the fire codes just are not as strong as here in California. I remember going into buildings where the elevator could only hold a few people, they were so small. And the stairwells could only fit a single file.

There have been infamous fires in the major cities which one would think would have forced Japan to have stricter codes, and I’m sure new buildings today are better. But even buildings a few decades old can be really iffy. Egress just isn’t given enough room for panic exits.
