rest in peace..what a tragedy...but why is a printing house located in a basement of a residential building? It should not be permitted...by the way Naharnet, I doubt that the printing house and the depot lie 200 meters underground...maybe 20 if it is like 4 floors underground..anyhow, it is not important...
