[edit] NPOV tag

I added the NPOV tag as the article as it includes a lot of subjective, POV language in it. The article is also too verbose with a lot of superfluous narrative. —  Stevie is the man!  Talk | Work 15:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Removed NPOV as far as possible, think we can now remove the tag? --Phl3djo 10:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, the article seems to be improved to the point where the tag is no longer necessary. I'll go ahead and remove it. Thanks for your very good edits! —  Stevie is the man!  Talk | Work 16:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The section cited that the fire erupted into a classic flashover is false. Look at Wiki's page on flashover and you'll see that a flashover does not occur until a rooms temperature is near 1000 degrees (F). No one would be alive in the room by the time a flashover occurs. If the fire exploded into the room, maybe it was a backdraft (smoke explosion, oxygen deficent fire)?

Researchers have concluded that it was altruism that may have killed the 164-166 victims. Data shows that the male victims were found funneling the female victims toward that exits. Panic WAS NOT to blame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KarthVader (talk • contribs) 00:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
