The building only has one set of stairs, to the front left as you look at it from the outside. There is no other fire escape. Also, the building is narrow left to right, but goes very far back, that's why so many people were trapped. He started the fire at the only exit point, the people had nowhere to go. Just terrible.

This building also hosts an English Conversation School at a lower floor.
What does this piece of information have to do with anything?
The comment made me check the building in the picture closer, and sure enough I used to work there. Which then led me to check on my friends and co-workers who are still there (nobody from the school was affected). Rob, please reconsider you attitude, you're not being cool.
Didou, thanks for giving that information.
