Why didn't the Fire Sprinklers work in the first place and another question...


Couldn't they have run Bathtub Water to let it overflow to help also? I mean I know the gas lines could have exploded but still if they hadn't gone in the bathtubs and just let the water overflow, from the sink to the bathtub to the shower, maybe it still wouldn't have saved their lives but it could of help a little!

Why weren't the fire sprinklers inspected before opening the building? Hmm..
