It Would Be Wrong to Find This a Little Funny. Right?

That's pretty horrible, not funny.

I'm surprised however, that they weren't woken by the smell of smoke. People disabled in one (or more) sense(s) develop their other senses to a much higher level.

Why weren't there sprinklers in the building? Is there no building code in Russia?

I've heard this fact for years, but just recently heard
that it was a myth. Not challenging, Horde King. I'm
just curious, is there any research to back this up?

I haven't read any research on the topic. My evidence is anecdotal, that is it comes from friends and collegues with various disabillites, particularly visual impairments.

It's not that they have a "spider sense" or something similar. It's more like they're much better attuned to the messages received from their remaining senses. It's developed by practice and out of necessity; it doesn't occur automatically.
