It's understandable that the doors of all public buildings should open outwards. If a busy building catches fire, people will panic and run for the door. If the door opens inward, less people can get out at a time and people will get shoved to the other side of the door while it's being opened, not only making it harder to open but preventing a good amount of people to get out in time.
I hope that makes sense. I learned it in US history, a law that was placed because of that incident happening during the Triange Shirtwaist Company Fire. Or I think that's what it was called.
