Re: Library "Disaster" videos
another "video" on disasters is "Name of the Rose" I use just the portion
of the film where the library is burning and people are running all over
and Sean Connery is standing in front of the fire and trying to decide
which book to save. It can be very effective in working with a group
trying to wrestle with priorities. I also want to give credit to Melissa
McAfee from University of Pittsburgh who gave me the idea.
"Culture Shock" was available for free and is a very good video for
explaining the value of sprinkler systems and the types of systems
available including the newest mist systems.
One more "Document Reprocessors" has a video about their freeze dry
process which uses footage from the LA fire.
