The Paraguay shopping fire incident. It really is inhumane that security guards could lock the doors just to save a bit of money - never mind killing 300 people at the same time. Simply rediculous.

That is undescribable.
It's not really inhumane - the doors weren't locked with the knowledge that it might cause the death of some people.
It's just a terrible incident.

No, the doors were locked because the staff thought that the fire would cause people to leave without paying. If they didn't think there was a threat of people leaving quickly ie. a fire, then they would have no cause to lock the door.
It's unlikely they knew something terrible like this would come of it, but if it's true it's involuntary manslaughter.

I hope that none of it's intentional, the media haven't really made it clear at this stage - as reports remain unconfirmerd.

"This is a customer announcement - this store will soon be closing due to the massive fire now spreading through at a disturbing pace. Please make your way to the checkouts - thank-you"
I'm wondering if,as is often the case, the story has gotten confused by the media and that the actual truth is that the fire doors were always locked to prevent shoplifters dashing through them. In which case someone is still in deep brown stuff.
in the literal sense of the word, surely being inhumane means being nice and good, eh Forest?
It's a developing country, there saving money for a rainy season.(just joking) It is terrible. Terrible to die......

That's how I understood it when it was on the news last night. They said it was to "prevent looting" which I initially thought meant they had locked the doors *because* of the fire, but at the piece went on it hinted that it was a more permanent arrangement.
Like you say, either way some one is screwed.
