Yikes. I wonder if the death toll will rise. The number of deaths in the Siem Reap nightclub fire last year was disputed by many.

One of the worst ways to go. Very sad and disturbing pics.

I think fire alarms are of little help in most of these club fires. The exits are the problems.

I think both can help because in clubs are too noisy, music,... etc and the rooms are very private so they 're hard to know what happen out side their rooms. One more thing is the exist, if the clubs has many floors they must use elevators. And I don't think they have any sign of exit(walking). And the elevators won't work if the fire. Maybe only jump from the building?

Confined spaces and crowds make for mass hysteria.

General rule of thumb, don't be the first people running out, wait awhile until everyone is getting trampled and be the man on top. I'd rather be the trampler then the trampled. Or just sit close to the exits.

Also don't assume the other exits signs, besides the way you came in is actually and exit. These fucking bastards in this country regularly padlock those exit doors. So assume he only way out is the way you came in.

Fire sprinkler system anyone? Something is better than nothing and just a couple thousand more would protect so much life.

Good point.

Shit, I had never thought of it that way. My plan has always been the first one out, running like I wad in the Olympics!

Knowing what you know, it must be nerve wrecking to be in some of these clubs. I don't even think of this shit.

As the saying goes, if a Bears chasing you you don't need to be the fastest just not the slowest. Same principle per se, the mob is the bear, stay ahead of it before you get trampled to death. And each person behind you slows them down a bit.

Khmer clubs I'm a wreck in, honestly lol. Been to those clubs in pp and snooky. I don't relax inside those death traps. I'm always on edge that a alcohol haze can't cover up. Pontoon isn't horribly bad, there's a second and third exit that I have seen open in the past. But heart.... Fuck the second floor, I've never seen a second way out. If you get trapped up there you'll look like these pictures. Crispy fried expat like a Indian chicken tandoori lollipop.

Oh god here's something else. My one project in Cambodia, I was asked a couple weeks ago about fire doors on the project and what they need to be. I said, "well, follow the wall plan and make the fire doors within 30 minute rating of the walls.", "but we don't have a plan showing that." *facepalm* So this is a 9 floor apartment building with no technical firewalls, at least two stairwells opening to the outside. But the stairwells aren't fire rated because they have penetrations that they haven't sealed. I asked them about that and they were dumb founded.

It's better than a normal Khmer building with only one stairwell and that stairwell doesn't exit to the outside. Which is fire stupidity.

Ok I'll turn off my fire rage lol

You can forget fire alarms as that would either go un-noticed or people would think it's part of the song, thanks to all the DJs who use it as part of their set samples.

I bet the doors open inward like in the rest of the country. That's also not helpful when you're being pushed up against it from behind. Try convincing panicking people to back off so you can open the door. So much for staying ahead of the crowd.

It will take Cambodia many accidents to figure it out.
