That horrible mess in Brazil is why we have codes. Idiots who allow places of assembly with just 1 exit and NO auto sprinklers should be hanged. When will they stop allowing fireworks inside without adequate protection? I am disgusted.

Speaking of Brazilian slums, I've attached a paper that was published in the Journal of Fire Protection Engineering last year on fire risk assessments of slums in Brazil. Based on the data in Table 1, the death of a hundred people in a slum fire appears to be fairly common. So while 200 deaths in a nightclub is sad, it appears that the socity tolerates these consequences for the residents in these areas.
