====================================
An American, who tried to escape by tying bed sheets together and
climbing over a balcony died when his improvised rope parted, dropping
him to the ground.

His wife, however, survived by using emergency stairs.

The article also states... 'One unidentified Canadian couple was
caught in their room and perished in the fire'.

Guess they were just too damn stupid to try anything?

We don't know if they were overcome by smoke or incapacitated by CO. As
far as the Americans go, why did the woman have the sense to use the
emergency stairs and hubby not?

Spin, spin, spin! Why were the Canadians overcome? Didn't they have sense
enough to get out?
