- forgotusername6 2y agoThis is terrifying from a fire safety point of view. Does Norway have rescue ladders that can reach the top of that building?
- actionfromafar 2y agoCounter-intuitively, wooden buildings when properly designed are not especially dangerous from a fire safety point of view.
- lesuorac 2y agoI think intuitively, properly designed things are well designed.
- cultofmetatron 2y agoI'm a huge fan of cross laminated timber myself. Its really made for a closed loop economy. carbon neutral and a great fit for local production of building materials.
