Fire doors are a touchy subject here after 197 kids choked to death at a rock concert just three years ago when a flare went off (why flares in indoor concerts? well, this is Latin America), the sound proofing in the ceiling caught fire and the excessive number of people tried to get out only to find the emergency door locked from the outside. After that fire drills and emergency stairs and fire doors became mandatory. It was one of the saddest events in recent history -and we've had our share of sad events. Is it normal to have that much snow in early December (thanks for the metric)? Or is it just another manifestation of climate change? Here we had an unusually cold and long winter (even snow in Buenos Aires!) and all of a sudden we've switched to hot and humid weather with tropical type of showers. To think that we used to have mild weather with few extreme events!
