The Utumishi Girls fire tragedy is a case study on misinformation...
There are reports circulating online about the door being locked from inside...
That the door was locked by students...
That the door was locked from outside by the matron.
That there were two doors.
That the matron only unlocked one door and left the girls to burn inside.
That the students who set the school on fire piled mattresses at the door to stop their classmates from escaping...
That the school admin knew there was a plan to burn the school but didn't take any action...
Etc etc... And everyone is convinced their version is the right one.
Social media can be hell...
