Stop Dropping fears Qatar

completely agreed

fear makes u take precautions which may save your life.

Which mall do you work for? Are you worried about the reduced foot falls?? dont worry, people will get over it and life will go on...

I like that one "fear makes you take precautions" !

"Manpower" is correct that we should not live in fear. There are risks all around us all the time, but we should be smart enough to spot the risks, minimise them ... and when it all goes wrong anyway perhaps we learn from the mistakes.

After the Titanic we required ships to carry enough lifeboats for the passengers. When we find out what happened at Villagio, lets make sure it doesnt happen again

MN? I believe you meant MP lol

the same thing happened a couple years back in a new set of towers in west bay.

Alarms didn't sounded and people realized there was something wrong when they were engulfed by smoke. Thanks god at that time nothing else happened and everybody was safe.

/-a-t-/Manpower do you realize the magnitude of the events from yesterday?? Yes I know danger is everywhere but come on being aware of my surroundings and being "prepared" "in case of" could be likely saving your life. My fear could make me "able" to respond to a situation.

Regards!!

and unreasonable fear. Knowing the difference spells the difference.

I'd say this is a complete un-reasonable word from an advance retard Mor*n.

This isn't creating fear and this is not an accident People died from road accident every day and no one is posting about it okay .. This is called negligence . the so call safety system is faulty and if it could happen in villagio it could happen any where else.

oh yea it all turns back to "if you don't like it here then go back home"

Put your self in the shoes of the Parent that lost their kids

MP: do you have to be a victim before you understand the whole incident?

You're pathetic Flor.

flor. What sort of an investigation report is going to justify the negligence?

I mentioned before, it is called "business", but I was called an "idiot" by one QLer. You see, saying the truth is not wanted in this country. Everything is fine and beautiful. Period.

The simple and sad fact is that this incident will be forgotten sooner than later, and most will return to the malls as before..

However, this should be a watershed and the loss of life should make the authorities and powers that be sit up and take notice. They should realise that safety is a key issue and that in the long run it is better to incorporate safety in the buildings and train personnel accordingly, rather than just focus on churning out buildings just for show.

Call me a cynic, but i doubt whether much will change..

You may very well ask Debbie.

The authorities close down parts of Carrefour at the drop of a hat - thats EASY. Your contribution asks the searching questions that I hope some FORMAL investigation NEEDS to ask.

It is just more than a shame that there are 19 corpses lying in some morgue somewhere to highlight the high levels of incompetence that go unchallenged in this country.

Nothing will change and the guilty won't be punished, because they have WASTA!

A huge mall with just 5 entrances for thousands of visitors, now think before you comment about safety!!!

start killing people or throw them to jail without investigation? In the first place, what negligence are you talking about? Unless it is established, then punish those responsible.

Nothing to justify what happened, but would you like to punish someone because of perception?

Before a sentence is carried out, there will be a hearing or you want sentence first before hearing?

Transparency.... in everything they do....

Media, investigations, correct procedures, sponsorship... if you can name it, it should be on the list for pure and utter transparency.

With transparency comes consequenses... not WASTA!!!

dont the parents also have a responsibility? blame everyone but yourself. that seems to be the motto here.

Unfortunately we live in a world of the tertiary sector, the service sector. We tend to delegate anything we could do ourselves to a service agency. BUT: many service agencies (including governments) cannot protect you. It's better to take your fate in your own hands. The world has come to this, and that's why people will suffer. It's what makes the world go 'round, because it generates money. On whose cost?

No it could not have happened any where in the world! Anywhere else in the world the nursery wouldn't have been allowed to open in the first place, neither would the mall. Not without working sprinklers & fire exits!

A fire could certainly break out anywhere in the world, yes.

However, in most other parts of the world, alarms would go off.
Sprinklers would work.
Emergency exits would be clear.
Mall security staff would be professional.
Emergency services personnel would be better prepared.
Etc.

So, sorry, but no, I strongly disagree with the notion that this could have happened "anywhere in the world".

no sprinkler system? There is but malfunction and "maybe" locked. So that is what I expect to be included in the report so those responsible be held liable. Investigation before blaming.

but your last sentence rhymes with my earlier comment.
