We have experienced another fire tragedy.

It is a pain that cannot be endured.

It is called a natural disaster.

Fire, earthquake, flood.

The fire mentioned here, which is called a natural disaster, is misunderstood.

A fire caused by negligence is not a natural disaster. 

If it were the result of a lightning strike, we could call it a natural disaster.

However, a fire that occurred as a result of negligence is not a natural disaster.

But the subject of this article is not which disaster is a natural disaster and which is not.

How can a massive structure be placed on top of a mountain, at an altitude of two thousand meters, and called a hotel?

And 12 stories high at that.

It is beyond comprehension.

How can a building be planned for a remote mountain top or an isolated area, devoid of all technical facilities and capabilities, as if it were in the middle of a city?

I am sure there were those who opposed it while this building was being planned.

Someone must have said that a hotel with this many floors cannot be built on top of a mountain.

The land is already free, a vast treasury region.

Let's build this hotel with two or three floors instead.

If something goes wrong, people could at least save themselves with their own means.

But surely someone must have stepped up and hit the nail on the head by saying, "You are trying to sabotage tourism, you do not want the country to grow and prosper."

Still, let me say this.

Huge hotels, huge so-called businessman criminals bloated from eating incentives.

Hotels that charge a thousand liras for a meatball sandwich.

Godless so-called investors who value a bowl of soup at the price of a small gold coin.

If they had built a fire truck from a scrap water tanker and kept it on the side, or installed pressurized fire hydrants around the hotel, no one would have died.

I won't even get into the chicken trailer business so I don't get into trouble.
