Now to read about an eye-witness account … it takes us close to the event. And many questions come to our mind. How could professional firemen ignore a basic instruction that is pasted next to almost every lift? Who switched off the power without checking if anyone was in the lift?

Nothing will bring the six men back, and we can hardly share the grief and pain of their families. Let us hope, although there is no reason to, that basic civic amenities will keep pace with the mad rush of urbanization that is sweeping our country.

Thanks for your comments and observations. Thanks Hobo for joining me in prayers and I hope that this incident will help Thane get a better and bigger Fire Brigade.

Those firemen committed the basic error of not using elevator in case of fire. The same error was made in fire at Priyadarshini where also many firemen lost lives.

However the loss is irrepressible.

Quire true. The responsible parties forget…or neglect some basic safety rules. The development in Metro is not all-inclusive rather it is money oriented. Not to blame anyone this moment but we must learn lesson from this accident and know how to avoid it in future otherwise it will be only part of news….Ratnakant
