Tragedy In Rhode Island

[Evil Chris]

Looks like the pyrotechnic display in a club featuring the 80s rock band, Great White started this terrible mess.
39 people already confirmed dead...

Sad indeed. I was watching happen pretty much live on Fox News.

They have been showing actual footage of the fire starting in the club. Very scary stuff.

i was just watching that too. that was awefull!

It certainly looks like Great White and the night club are going to have some serious answering to do. the video shows the fire starting from the pyrotechnics on BOTH sides of the stage simultaneously. i am not a fire marshal, but it did look like someone was definately negligent.

damn.... 96 fatalities total. :(

Bunch of idiots *the band too* ..

the video clearly shows the fireworks hitting the ceiling, even the guitarist is turned around looking at whats happening and does nothing.

I mean how drunk were all these people, the fucking camera man saw what was happening in 10 seconds and started moving toward the exit very quickly while everyone else was zoned out.

The place was burning clear as day and everyone was there with their beers up in the air rocken to the music.. amazingly stupid if you ask me.

[grimm]

I personally am shocked and dismayed...



that 96 people were at a great white concert!
