    Factory of Sadness: Fire Hazard

    The aluminum panels used at Browns/First Energy Stadium are the same that might have contributed to the apartment fire in London a few weeks ago.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    although it's concerning, the building in the uk didn't have a sprinkler system. i'm sure the stadium does.

    The manufacturer doesn't recommend using the panels on buildings above 40 feet tall. Sprinkler or no, someone screwed up.

    Even if it doesn't, 80,000 people drinking beer should suffice.

    Internal sprinkler systems may be ineffective against fires that spread through external paneling. Not clear what effect mass micturation would have, unless Browns fans have Archimedean ability to walk in the ether.

    I can't understand why you'd put panels with highly flammable insulation on a building of any height.
