I wasn't so much talking about having the knowledge to make it safe as like actually having some business being there. It's certainly dangerous, just like it's dangerous for anyone who's living in proximity to that. But it's not like they're some idiot tourists, that's actually the life their family has focused on. Like, it's what they do.

Sure, but I am a teacher, and if 2,500 people were killed in my area in three months, I wouldn't stick around.
