Picture of the Day: Remembering the Victims of the Daegu Subway Fire
Chrysanthemums are placed in front of a monument bearing the portraits and names of those who died in a 2003 subway arson at Jungang Station in the southeastern city of Daegu, on Feb. 13, 2023, five days ahead of the 20th anniversary of the incident at the station in which a mentally disturbed man in his 50s started a blaze, leaving 192 passengers dead.

That’s so touching.
What have they done to prevent a reoccurrence?
Setnaffa, the answer is:

Plentiful fire extinguishers is always a sensible thing… and would likely solve this problem.
Otherwise, government enacting a bunch of ineffective and onerous regulations to show they are Doing Something causes far more trouble than it solves.
