So What More Is There To Be Done?
Somebody fell off the stairs in Esplanade. She died. Family commented more should be done to boost the architectural safety of the Esplanade such that a similar accident does not happen again. Problem: Esplanade is architecturally safe as determined by the authorities; each carpeted step (of each theatre) has a strip of light to illuminate it, and there is a handrail at the side for people to hold on to while they go up and down the stairs. I'll be blunt. This is already so much better than going to the movies. At times when you make last minute decisions to watch movies, ever noticed that the lights were already dimmed and you really have difficulty seeing the steps sometimes. Handrail? What handrail. Funny I do not read of anybody falling off the movie theatre steps and getting a bone fracture or the likes.
Back to the Esplanade freak accident. What exactly does the family want Esplanade's management to do to improve the safety? Light up the whole theatre while the play is on? Even then I think the deceased would still fall off the steps. After all, the steps ARE adequately lit to guide the patrons in the first place. Anyway, I am apt to think that the family is just trying to point fingers. As long as they can blame somebody for the freak accident. No constructive comments on how to improve the safety from them. They just want "some" improvements to be done. Such people really cannot be taken seriously.

sympathise with them for their loss but obviously they can't get past the fact that it's a freak accident.
think they are in denial that it could very well have been her own fault. who knows?
