Shuri Castle is burning down

I know most likely none of you most likely have never heard of it, but . . . I was born near that castle, a UNESCO world heritage site. It's also already Halloween there, which is my birthday.

I think this is a premonition. Club 27, here I come. 😂😭

"The city’s fire department said that while the castle had exterior sprinkler systems, its halls were not so equipped as this was not required under local fire codes.

"Shuri Castle has been destroyed by fire several times"

Seems like it's past time for Japan to think about updating its fire codes.  It seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle to make everything earthquake proof.  Also, if a 500 year old building has been destroyed several times, is the building 500 years old, or just its architecture?
