Oh yeah, thanks.

Have you seen the video? It might be another concert, but it was on a
show about how little people notice / care about fire. There is a guy
with a video camera at the back of the hall and a fire starts on the
wall. Some of the people up front are dancing and pointing to the wall.
The singer sees them and does the same pointing gesture back to the
crowd. They are yelling, "Fire!" and pointing, but they keep dancing.
The guy with the camera says something about it to his friends. Nobody
is moving away, tho. They think it will be put out by "somebody else".
Finally, as it reaches to top of the wall and is about 6 feet across,
the band notices and the crowd realizes it's not part of the act. The
camera guy says one last thing about getting the hell out of there and
the next shot is like the Great White footage of the club all burned
down. They had something like 2 minutes to get out.

If you see fire, get away. As Frankenstein's Monster says, "Fire, bad!"
