And the owner of that factory has, in fact, been talking about this.

And apparently the protocol was that people would be moved to the bathroom areas as deemed to be the most secure areas, generally internal rooms without any external windows.

显然工厂的规定是龙卷风到来时人们会被转移到洗手间，因为那里被认为是最安全的地方，通常是没有任何外窗的内部房间。
