On the night that the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was attacked by a gunman with a high-capacity rifle, Jorshua Hernández spent three hours bleeding in a bathroom stall, unable to find his way to an exit. Another patron, Javier Nava, saw a ladder suspended from the ceiling and thought it could help him escape to the roof. But the ladder led only to a loft-style office, where he was trapped with a bullet wound in his abdomen. “If they had more doors, one could survive and there wouldn’t be so many dead,” Mr. Hernández, 29, said. Both the club owner and city officials said that the facility had sufficient exits and complied with all required building regulations.
