Darin brach aus ungeklärter Ursache ein Feuer aus. Obwohl die Feuerwache nur einen Kilometer entfernt war, trafen die Löschfahrzeuge erst mit 40-minütiger Verspätung ein, da der Leiter des Brandschutzes den Einsatz verzögerte
In Perm ist die Ursache bekannt. Aber die Rettungskräfte hatten auf ganzer Linie versagt. Und die Gewerbeaufsicht.
Klar ist es Aufgabe des Staates die Bürger zu schützen. Eigentlich.
Nicht 48 sondern 156 Tote im Lame Horse Nachtclub in Perm:
After I had got out, there were no firemen or emergency service for about twenty minutes—nobody at all. [...] There were only two ambulances altogether. They managed to take six or seven men and left. No more ambulance cars arrived, at least I saw none. Firemen had pulled out a number of people by then. Half-clothed, they were simply laid on the cold asphalt. Nobody cared for them. It seemed that the aid was needed but there were no ambulances. [...] People were lying on the ground for about an hour and a half. Definitely for no less than an hour. It could be that many of them died because of this. Because of the cold. It was 16 degrees below zero outdoors. These were the strongest impressions: people lying in snow for an hour without any aid.
I rushed to the ambulance which for unclear reasons was standing far off at the crossroads. I asked why they were idling and they replied that they hadn’t been given orders. It turned out that we pulled out a lot of people most of which were still alive. I think it was possible to save around 70 percent of them within first seconds. But nobody helped. [...] I drove to the 9th medical post. Asked a guard where the toxicology department was. Found the door of the admission room and started to knock but nobody opened it for a long time. Then they looked out saying that they would come out soon and vanished. So I came in by myself, delivered them a man and drove back. By that time the officials had already arrived and the place of tragedy had been cordoned. I ran to firemen, asked how I could help but there were enough men without me, so I went round looking for injured who needed to be taken to their homes. Most of the people whom we had brought out earlier were already covered.
