Shampoong Department Store disaster

[Freak Show]

Does anyone remember when this happened in Japan? Did you know someone phoned in that the roof was going to collapse? The owners fled after the call, neglecting to tell the customers and employees. Unbelievable. When rescue efforts began fires broke out, the hoses they used to put them out ended up drowning several people in the rubble. Over 500 died. There's something about it on FX as I'm typing this. I never realized how bad that situation was.
