I can't recall the last time I saw a fire exit blocked... Feels like one of those things people keep repeating because of a handful of newsworthy events a year.

  If a handful of fire exits are blocked during a fire every year, aren't there 1,000x more that are blocked during no fire?

  Go to your nearest grocery, hardware, or department store, head to the back on the day that a truck comes, and look around. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it exists. You fell into the argument from ignorance fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

  Feels like one of those things people keep repeating because of a handful of newsworthy events a year... People keep talking about that handful of newsworthy events because we don't want there to be more of them. Or at least we want them to become less frequent, and less deadly when they do occur.
