Okay Flor, you're right. "We" need to be aware that just because there are signs leading to a fire exit, we shouldn't assume there will be no obstacles in our way and the door will be unlocked.
"We" need to be aware that just because we are entering a public space shared by thousands of people, we shouldn't expect that Civil Defense has approved the location of shops and nurseries and food courts.
"We" need to be aware that just because a mall has leased a space to be used for a certain purpose, we shouldn't assume that the landlord, tenant, and relevant authorities have all acted legally and ethically and approved the lease based on merit and legality, not just through connections.
"We" need to be aware that when there is a fire, and the Civil Defense turns up, they may or may not have the appropriate maps of the venue, but don't worry, they will stand around for half an hour and then decide to cut a hole in the roof or something.
I can totally see how there is so much "we" as consumers, as parents, as movie goers, can do to keep ourselves safe. Since by that logic, if "we" are all responsible for our own safety in such scenarios, the logical extension is that we can't rely on the government or the Civil Defense to prevent these tragedies.
