typical

Radio Polonia article: "When fire broke out in the roof of St. Catherine Church in Gdansk, "[monks living in the nearby monastery] were very busy bringing to safety the most valuable pieces of art, especially the Baroque paintings. Unfortunately, the monks completely fotgot to call for fire brigades. It's believed that a passer by called for the fire fighters from his mobile phone half an hour later."

Is this typically Polish, or typically monkish?

"One hundred fire-fighters arrived soon at the scene. Extra fire brigades came from nearby cities too. Unfortunately, it was too late to fight with the flames that completely burnt the roof of the church. But the tower of the church was saved together with the 37-bell carillon which has chimmed every hour on the hour since the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War."

Typical of all societies, then, that people think of carillons as being wonders of automation and nothing more. (That's 49 bells to you, buddy).

But YAY! The carillon might well have survived without serious damage. The question is, will the fire marshals allow access to it? Or is that not a typical concern?
