Smoke spread so fast at animation firm victims couldn’t open rooftop door 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersSmoke spread so fast through the Japanese animation company hit by an arson attack last week that a majority of victims who had tried to flee through a rooftop door were unable to open it before perishing, Japanese media said on Monday. Survivors have described a “dark mushroom cloud” of smoke pouring up the staircase. “I heard voices arguing on the first floor, then within 15 seconds black smoke welled up from the staircase,” one survivor was quoted as telling NHK. Both for us here as well as the animation industry as a whole, this is a huge blow,” the statement added.
