“Let’s get out of here!” We tried, sorry,” says one of them in the video, which has nearly eight million views on X. In the background, the fire alarm sounds.

Storm chaser Charles Tanner shared on the social network burning.

“Every time I watch this video, I see myself running away from the fight of a lifetime,” Orly Israel told CNN.

He explained that there was no question of taking anything given the urgency of leaving the premises.

“We just tried to get out as quickly as possible at one point, because it had become nonsense,” he testified to the American media.

The two friends explained that they first tried to fight the flames before deciding to go outside.
