    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    An update on what has happened around Oceana. Two weeks ago on the 21/2 Liseberg held a memorial for Oceana in Luna Park. A bunch of Liseberg bunnies were there offering hugs, the big carousel was open and a lot of sombre staff members were present handing out bunny plush toys. It was overall a...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I have still not gotten used to seeing Oceana like this everyday. It's truly a sad sight. Here is a drone video of it.

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I guess I have already gotten answers to this. According to this article, it's pretty much a combo of all the methods @Hixee mentioned. After 80 hours, the fire is still buring. On Tuesday night, the supporting roof beams started collapsing. Right now 3/9 roof beams have collapsed. Most of...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    How do you think this making safe could work? If the building is too dangerous to be entered and at risk of eminent collapse. Will the current burned structure be strengthened to allow investigators in or will the unsafe parts be demolished before investigators are allowed in? Also does...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    In total Liseberg say that it has taken 10 years. Just water park construction has been about 2.5 years. I dont remember exactly but it started after I moved here so second half of 2021. I would expect a rebuild to take at least 2.5 years considering they will need to investigate, design...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    Here is a picture of one of the collapsed beams. More structural parts keep collapsing and the fire is not yet extinguished. I'm no engineer but this really dosen't look salvageble. It looks like laminated timber to me.

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    In that example a temporary construction lift will be installed until the actual lift is installed and commissioned. Don't fire systems work in the same way. Until the permanent one is installed a temporary one is brought in? Another example. I am the chairman of my student housing, we just dug...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    GP just published an article including an interview with a fireengineer who worked on the fireplans for Oceana. He says that most of the fire systems were not yet in use, including fire alarms, sprinklers, various barrier techniques, passive fire prevention, etc. He says that this fire could...

    I just took a look towards Liseberg, Oceana is burning and smoking again. I found this picture with a better view than I have. My apartment is one of those lights you can see behind the fire. Source: GP

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    An update. At this point there is still fire in the building, 30 hours after it started. Though the fires are fully contained. The water slide tower and the whole main indoor section are at a risk of collapse and the fireservices do not allow unnecessary access to them. The main roof beams of...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    From another interview with the fire chief. The slide tower and main water hall are completely gutted, some parts have collapsed in on themselves. Changing rooms, cafes, staff areas and some technical spaces have been saved.

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I will try my best to transcribe that press conference. It really doesn't say much, the whole thing seems very clouded and badly produced. The head fireman says that the fire had a very gaseous explosive fire progression, which meant that the firemen had to retreat and instead work at limiting...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I havn't physically seen it burning since yesterday evening and there is no longer smoke or smell of smoke coming out. There could still be small fires inside. All road blocks have been lifted, it's pretty much like normal. There are still firefighters working on the building. I dont know if...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I found a video of how it looked inside the water park from Coaster Stop. The pools even started to be filled.

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    Just got the text that the danger is over and all restrictions are lifted. I have now opened all windows and am airing out the smoke from my apartment. The report has come that 22 people were lightly injured by the fire and one worker is missing. His family has been notified. If he was in the...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    The fire is contained to the water park. It happened around the water slide tower which is the furthest away from the dry park and hotel. It's been a ton of smoke which might have caused some damage to the hotel or nearby buildings. Otherwise I dont think there has been any physical damage. I am...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I was woken up by a series of explosions and later an awful smoke smell. I live right next to it, under the smoke. It looks really bad, happy that no one got gravely hurt. It's still burning right now, 4 hours later.

    Does rural or urban living appeal to you more?

    I recently got introduced to that in geography class at university. It's a very American thing, where it has been used to derogatorily describe black people. I think very few people outside of American know or think of that usage of the term. We still use it scientifically in geography, I cant...
