Why didn’t all people manage to evacuate in time?

Ironically, it was on the day of the emergency, July 10, that a fire inspection was carried out in the building of the entertainment complex, initiated by the administration of the shopping center. But exercises are exercises, and the fire is on schedule. At 5:39 p.m., flames broke out on the ground floor.

According to some reports, the fire was located on the ground floor, in the textile center - there are many shopping arcades with knitwear and bed linen. More than 200 stores display their products here.

We saw a pillar of fire between the first and second rows. The fire spread quickly. It's hard to say what caught fire. There was black smoke. Perhaps something flammable was lying on the heater, eyewitnesses said.

However, according to another version, the fire may have started due to an explosion in one of the hypermarket’s bakeries, and the fire went through the ventilation shaft into the textile center.

Heavy smoke arose in the shopping center; it spread all the way to the second floor.

“I was at work at that moment, in a cafe on the second floor, near the cinema,” one of the employees told MK. - I look - two people are running, followed by several more, everyone is shouting: “Fire! The first floor is on fire!” The alarm did not work; it was turned on only when there was smoke in the cinema. It’s good that it was Monday and we had no visitors in the cafe. If everything had happened on Saturday, it would have been a real disaster. The most interesting thing is that on this day authorized people walked around and checked fire extinguishers and safety equipment. But it is not clear from whom - nothing was checked from the employees. To be fair, I note that when I applied for a job here, there was instruction. I can’t say anything about the serviceability of the electrical wiring, but it is a fact that it was leaking from all the cracks. I realized what was happening in time and managed to run out without getting hurt.

But 27-year-old food court employee Raisat Magomedova was less fortunate: the girl inhaled carbon monoxide and lost consciousness in front of her colleagues. The woman was taken outside, where she regained consciousness and was later hospitalized.

TV presenter Olga Pankova, who came with her family to the film show at 17.05, also suffered from fear. During the fire, the woman, her children and grandparents, along with other spectators... were simply forgotten in the hall. The only thing that saved people was that Olga came out to ask what was happening with the lighting, which turned on in the middle of the session. “There was no one near the doors... the lights were off in the corridors... an excited girl was quickly walking towards her... behind her, as in a movie, a dark cloud of smoke was slowly approaching. She was very surprised that she met me... to my moo: “Where is the light?” - in response I heard: “What, are you in the hall? Are you watching? Come out!”

With great difficulty, the viewer and her family managed to get out: to do this, the man, who joined the moviegoers on the way to escape with his little daughter in his arms, had to knock down the plastic door leading to the street.

12 people were hospitalized in Moscow hospitals, including 6-year-old Yegor Golikov. People were poisoned by carbon monoxide. Four people are in intensive care.

The fate of the pets of the aquarium and exotarium, whose enclosures were located on the ground floor of the building, raised many questions. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, all animals were saved.

We discovered that the building houses a small zoo and an aquarium,” the press service of the capital’s Emergency Situations Ministry told MK. - Rescuers managed to enter the premises, despite thick smoke, almost zero visibility and high temperatures inside the building. It was dangerous to take out animals and fish, so the firefighters decided to protect the room as much as possible from the penetration of carbon monoxide. They blocked the doors, together with the administrator of the establishment, ventilated the rooms and turned on the emergency air supply system. In this way, more than 300 zoo inhabitants were saved. These include parrots, crocodiles, and monkeys.
