Smoke spread so fast at Japanese animation firm victims couldn't open rooftop door
路透社
The attack at Kyoto Animation on Thursday, in which a man shouting "Die!" poured a bucket of gasoline at the entrance to the building and lit it, took 34 lives and ranks as one of the worst mass killings in Japan for decades.
Of those who died, 19 were found piled on top of each other on a stairway between the third floor and a door to the roof.
Police said investigations had shown that smoke had apparently spread so fast that the victims were overcome before being able to open the rooftop door.
Experts said that a spiral staircase acted as a chimney to funnel the smoke upwards through all three floors of the building. Survivors have described a "dark mushroom cloud" of smoke pouring up the staircase.
The company late on Sunday issued a statement saying that the tragedy had left them at a loss.
"All of these people were our talented, precious colleagues. Both for us here as well as the animation industry as a whole, this is a huge blow, " the statement added.
Late on Saturday, police issued an arrest warrant for Shinji Aoba, 41, a loner from a city near Tokyo who is in hospital with serious burns. Police plan to arrest him once he recovers.
