As you say, MOST tenants opened in Villagio after the mall itself initially opened. I recall only Carrefour and maybe Starbucks being there in the first few weeks.
Therefore it is terrifying to think that possibly civil defense don't do follow up inspections in a mall AFTER it has opened, particularly, as you say, when MOST shops move in during this second phase.
I don't know what happened when the fire crews arrive. Did they enter the mall, go from shop to shop and ask mall staff and security if everyone is out? I don't know.
But what we do know already is pretty clear:
1 - The mother of one of the children stuck in the nursery claims to have repeatedly tried to tell the fire crews about the children, but was told to go away.
2 - All fatalities were in the nursery, so it's a bit moot to wonder what the fire crews did for the other stores, when the investigation is for the purposes of finding out how 19 people lost their lives in the nursery area.
I don't think that the report comes to any clear conclusion about why it was that so many people died due to an electrical fault. But what is clear is that there were systematic failings across the board.
That such a tiny fault could cause such damage and so much loss of life seems to suggest that almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
Thanks Flor.
