Mall fire in Qatar further proves that Wahhabis have lotta money but zero brains

What a shameful loss of  young lives.  No proper fire alarm system in the mall... just a tiny buzzer little louder than the buzz of a bee. Fucking idiots !!!  Corruption is rife in these Arabic countries. The contract for the construction and maintenance of the Qatari mall must have gone to a company that might have a British or American name but would be 50% owned by a local Qatari who in turn would have got the contract because of his lineage or bribes to the ass-kissers around the rulers. Moreover, the Qatari owner would insist that the employees are all Qatari nationals ... need I say more?

 ....Christine Wigton, an American who moved to Doha last year,    told CNN she was walking in the mall planning to buy some takeout shortly after 11 a.m. when she heard a buzzing noise. "As I walked back to where I had parked and heard a buzzer, not very loud, and a little bit of smoke, it looked like a store had had a small fire," she said.

"When I got a little bit closer I realized the smoke was just increasing and people were still shopping. And the smoke kept getting heavier and heavier."

Elementary school-age children were eating at some of the restaurants and no one evacuating, she said. "There were no sprinklers and there was nothing that would tell somebody that something was wrong."

Finally, the smoke became "too much, and I put my cardigan around my mouth" and went out to the parking lot. "My throat was burning," she said.

The mall advertises itself as "the newest and the largest entertainment center in Doha," with gondola rides, a 13-screen movie theater, a theme park, a skating rink, an artificial sky, restaurants and a bowling alley.....
