This day is always a good time to remind people to have situational awareness. Take a moment to know where your nearest exits are, and the closest stairs.
A minute of preparation can avoid a lifetime of pain.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I often hear business owners complain about strict fire/electrical codes, and the cost of installing and maintaining sprinkler systems. But they are designed to prevent exactly what happened at MGM.

Never say never, but that many fatalities is extremely unlikely in a modern up to code building with proper fire suppression systems.
