Exterior

7. Egress Hazards
Buildings or structures that are not provided with adequate means of egress or emergency escapes are unsafe and shall be subject to the abatement procedures specified in Section (IFC )
Most important inspection item.
This is one place in the code that states buildings are deemed dangerous without proper egress. Any other references state it is up to the fire code official to determine if a hazard exits.

8. Egress Hazards-Locked Exits
Scores die in Argentina club fire ( )
At least 175 people have died in a fire that tore through a crowded nightclub in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. More than 619 others were injured when the fire broke out late on Thursday, city officials said.
Up to 4,000 people, many of them teenagers, were inside the club for a New Year performance by rock group Los Callejeros, reports say.
Officials are investigating the possibility that emergency exits at the nightclub were locked.
Argentine Interior Minister Anibal Fernandez said the blaze may have claimed more victims because the exits had been tied shut with wire, Reuters news agency reports.
"It appears they were condemned to walk into a trap," Mr Fernandez said.
Buenos Aires Mayor Anibal Ibarra said the emergency exit appeared to be shut "so that people wouldn't enter without paying" and firefighters had to break it open, Reuters added.
Relatives have been identifying the dead
Case in point: Buenos Aires Nightclub Fire
175 dead
600+ injured
They were afraid someone would enter without paying, so they wired the exits closed.
Deadliest item over the years=locked/blocked or inadequate exits.
If there are locked/blocked exits and a fire occurs, odds are someone will die.
