Rhode Island Club Fire - jen - 02-21-2003

Did you see the news regarding last night's club fire in Rhode Island? The club had 'Great White' playing. The were using pyrotechnics and the whole club caught on fire, rapidly. It is very sad, so far the death toll is up to 54, with 150 injured.

The death toll is now up to 85. Unbelievable. Check out this link:

Everyone seems to be pointing the finger at each other. Dosn't seem like a good idea to me to have pyrotechnics inside a club in an old wooden building. Tragic mistake.

Very sad.

The band reportedly used the pyrotechs withou the permission of the club. But it's the news, who knows what the real truth is.
