I think tropes need a narrative to be Played With, so I don't think a real-life example could be "zig-zagged".
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
So it's pretty much "played straight", in this case?
And sometimes I wish our universe and the Tokimeki Memorial universe shall one day converge.
Considering that Kyo Ani is a Japanese company I dont think that we should be applying US based guidelines to them even as a trope.
The building was fine under the Japanese building code, so it can't count.
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!
Are we really doing this? Trope a tragedy in a crass at best way?

We didn't trope 9/11, so why should we trope any other tragedy?
I thought no real life examples was the rule ?
Not for No OSHA Compliance, which still allows real life examples

Perhaps it's time to run No OSHA Compliance through the Real Life maintenance thread if it hasn't been done already?

^x5 100% Agreed. This is in incredibly poor taste.
^ Probably a good idea. Considering that this trope is actually about elaborate Smoke and Fire Factories, I don't even get why there's a real-life section in the first place. Those aren't real.
First of all, may all those who died in the fire rest in peace.
That being said, I was wondering if the July 18th 2019 fire at Kyoto Animation could fall under the No OSHA Compliance trope (under Real Life), if it would be zigzagged or something. Based on descriptions of the building itself (no sprinklers, a spiral staircase, a difficult-to-open emergency door) this could be an example. But then, I was also thinking it's being zigzagged because the building passed the local fire codes - the structure was apparently built with accidental fires in mind, but the incident was an arson, so the damage was much worse.
