I just remember hearing about this on tv, and seeing this is heartbreaking. My heart def..went out to the people who died got hurt and etc..That place is too small for pyro and any other small intimate club..thats what arenas theaters and ampitheathers are for..Band and the club management knew they were flirting with diaster..I guess they couldnt fix stupid..Sorry to the people who suffer thru the tragedy.
You see @ 1:46 - 1:50 where the one guy breaks through and falls out the window? OK, I noticed a series of windows. Well it is a terrible shame that no one started breaking those windows from the outside to let the people on the inside out.....I know hindsight, but an empty soda keg or pallet could have removed many of those windows at the start. The people inside may have then seen this exit point that they were very very close too!
@ffwunchie Yes, it would have added oxygen. However considering the rapid growth and that the smoke and heat is what probably killed many before the flames even touched them? I still believe if someone took a car and rammed the front wall with the windows...It may have opened the entire front letting people escape through the gaping hole. The reason fireman open holes in the ceiling is to let the heat and smoke rise out, rather than spread horizontally.
@HHH100 the people on the other side of the glass are dead. Not to be morbid but they have already died due to smoke and super heated gas inhalation. Ramming a car will ruin the structural integrity of this building - which is already under heavy fire load and has weakened. As a firefighter the last thing I want to do is that, the building has already self vented and I do not want even more uncontrolled fire spread. The only survivors (or remote survivors) are the ones piled in the doorway.
@ffwunchie also if you have a chance look of the perished victims diagram located on the wiki page - it will give you insight as to why your theory would not work - the victims in question were too far away from said windows.
I do appreciate the thinking though, and this is not a way for me to show you are wrong.
@ffwunchie Probably true, but too bad others did not bust through the window that the heavier gentlemen fell out of when the cameraman (between bus) first returned to the front of the building. And I still can't believe I saw a guy holding a camera over the crowd taking pictures of the flames on stage. He is towards the right side holding both arms in the air....
once you see all those people stacked in the doorway it makes me wonder why they weren't pulling the ones off top first and working their way down instead of trying to pull people out from the middle. were they just trying to grab the women or something?
Gina Russo (survivor) said that a bouncer would not let her and her fiance go out the side door to their right. This is after the fire started! They were both at the front of the stage and knew something was very wrong. Her fiance perished in the fire.
What those guys at the front door didn't do is pull the effin people stacked up one at a time by both arms. Just keep pulling each person like hell, even if you dislocate their shoulders! Two guys, one on each arm in a rhythm and pull and throw, pull and throw!!! Maybe more could have been saved. I know it takes teamwork and a cool clear thinking head. But I wish it was done!
Watching this video itself is one thing, watching the "Station Nightclub Fire Before The Fire" and THEN watching this is really messed up. 5:30-5:40 are those screams coming from right behind that wall or from the front where the pile is? The hardest to watch was about 5:50-6:23. You can see people actually burning completely.
....I feel really bad. Just watching this and knowing its real makes me feel terrible inside. Jesus Christ, who was the safety inspector for this place?
Look to the right side of the stage at around the 1:05 - 1:09 mark. You can see Ty Longley (the lead guitarist) go back on stage to grab his guitar. Someone from the left side of the stage collides with him and Ty falls from the stage, then the other person falls from the stage also. Ty was the only band member who died.
They were probably drinking heavily, which made their escape even more difficult. The worst part is at 4:02 and seeing the girl complaining about her hair getting burned. The screams from inside are difficult to hear. Still, I wonder if they got their money back.

you're retarded... just another religious retard... if you posted something along the lines of death to the juice or somethign like that that would be ok - but they are human beings
@DeutcherKonnig But Great White were hardly the most demonic of 'Metal' bands, so why did it happen at one of their shows? No, you're not talking full sense. SOME sense, because the really satanic bands (and fans?) are playing a dangerous game, but Great White? Nah. They were a rather average Hair Metal band who had hits with other people's songs. God rest the deceased.
@DeutcherKonnig Actually you are correct! My aunt used to always feel Satan enter her house when her son (cousin to me) would play this kind of music. Kids and adults do not realize that there exists both good and evil. You decide which one comes into your life by the choices YOU make. If you can't play the music in CHURCH? Then you should never listen to it! Simple as that my fellow man......
I attended LMFAO concert at Honduras yesterday.Redfoo&the crew suddenly left before smoke came visible,which tells us they were warned beforehand, but ppl werent suspicious bc we thought it was part of the show until suddenly dense smoke&flames formed from underneath the stage(it was electrical overheating,NOT intetional).2 Out of 4 exits could be use,0 emergency exits.7000ppl in space for 4500.nobody EVER told us there wasa fire.Breathing was SO hard,coulve ended like this.
I see the one guy who passed out in that pile due to the smoke and woke up outside the steps. He was about to get out the door when he tripped and everyone piled up on him, lucky bastard!
... 4. The audience being unaware of the location of the fire exits. Most of the people headed for the main exit instead of additional exits in the side of the stage, the bar, and kitchen. There were 37 bodies found near the main exit where the crush occurred. Very sad....
This horrible fire and the deaths and injuries from it occurred for various reasons. I read the official investigative report and it stated that the main reasons for this tragedy were: 1. Pyrotechnics that should have have been permitted, 2. Non fireproof sound insulation that was extremely flammable and helped spread the fire and toxic gas, 3. No fireproof material between the sound insulation and the wood structure, creating a very powerful fuel to increase the heat inside the structure...
At 1:07 you can see Ty Longley trying to run back on the stage to get a guitar. I think he gets fire in his hair or knocked off the stage by Jack Russell who didn't stop to see what if is guitar player may need help.
Seing this video,as you can see the only person checkin the back of the building is the person shooting the video,no one else is looking,no firefighters or anybody just the guy shooting the video and not even him is letting people know theres a way in the back,we will save a prayer for all the peolple who perish in this tragic accident.always before entering a club,ask "where and if it is unlocked.that may save your life and others.our hearts are with the victims families
In the UK this was shown at a "teaching" thing. To show that you need to be your own individual because their was two fire exits at either side of the door....
Whoever filmed this had great instincts. The second the fire started, while everyone was standing around in disbelief, he was headed out the door. This is a real lesson to everybody. This is a real lesson for anyone going into a crowded place like this. Be aware that anything can happen, and make a mental note of it and to where all the exits are.
Un fucking real and tragic, god seemed to be absent and the devil having his way?
The singer didn't even have the slight bit or sense to tell everyone to get the fuck out the place was burning out of control!
Let alone who ever they hired to set up fireworks to shoot 15 feet high in 10 root of clearance! In a room draped with sheets and other flammable items!
One corse of action is to get the hell out and don't look back till your clear!
Jesus I will view fire never the same it is no joke!
This really captures the horror...and really drives home how fast a fire can spread. Incredible and disturbing...but also educational. A valuable lesson from an unspeakable tragedy.
Anyone who's been to a concert in a venue of this size, with a few hundred people, knows that EVEN CALM PEOPLE take 4 or 5 minutes to fully shuffle out of the club when the concert is over. The lucky ones knew of the other exits, and/or left immediately upon seeing flames. I'm not sure if one could design a more flammable establishment even if they were actually trying to.
i was up late all the way down Texas watching random tv stations when this broke in on one of the news stations. I saw it the vids of it right after happened and as the death toll rose. I didnt sleep very much that night. that incident and the one with the russians that burned in the car wreck were the the worst ,hard hitting videos i have ever seen and i hope i never have to endure such tragedy in person.
I read somewhere, (do NOT know if it is true) that every single person who died was autopsied, and that there were avariety of causes of death, smoke inhalation, burned to death, crush injuries, etc., but that ONE person actually died by DROWNING. A person at the very bottom of the doorway pile. Fire hose water. :-(
I remember when this happened, and it was YEARS before I even dare even go into a club. First thing I always do now, is figure out where the fire exits are!
Shockoach, not everyone was burned to death, in fires many people die due to smoke inhalation and being crushed to death. I'd prefer the smoke inhalation if I had to make the choice.
This video is hard to watch, it's easy to wonder "what took so long", but the response time for the fire department was very good. My husband is a firefighter and I cannot imagine how it would feel to see and smell and hear and touch all that he and other firefighters have experienced, but I certainly hope that i
If you weren't on your way out within about 10 seconds of seeing the flames, there's a good chance you wouldn't have made it.
This is another lesson like the Beverly Hills Super Club and Bradford Stadium fires - if you see any flames, hear an alarm or detector, just get out. If it's a false alarm, fine. But don't hesitate, get out. Not doing so could cost you your life.
@zenmachinefilms I would agree after seeing this I realize if you're not making direct action to get clear of the building you will end up stuck inside, and still may! That spread faster than imaginable, a second looking for somebody would be the last thing most likely you would ever do? I can't believe all those people who made it to the door and could not get out, even pulled out, as though hell had a grip on them from one side and wouldn't let them pass!
This was hard to watch. Could hardly keep up with it for allt he screaming. But I felt it was a worthwhile video. It was humbling, and I would like to keep the dangers in mind. Thank you.
the moment you see the main entrance engulfed in flames at around the 6 min mark you knew that whoever was still inside had perished. that was the moment that everyone who was there would have really felt the impact of what was occuring.
Daysandmonths.... You are you said and more. Out of respect to those who died and the many family members and friends I will keep what I think of you and your comments to myself.
There was no sprinkler system in this club...i had been to it many times before this happened and this is the fourth worst club fire in united states history...as a result all establishments in the nation had to have sprinkler systems put in and clear exit signs with alarms on them installed...no one could claim "grand farthered in" which this club was and many other clubs were up until this happened...it was a horrible and still is tragedy in the area
@t80tank20 Same thing for me, I saw this video a few days after it happened and until I saw it recently I noticed the person with flames on their head and back. Just a horrible scene.
Random but true... - the guy filming this was actually there doing a film about how unsafe these clubs were... Which is now the reason why its now the law for them to have sprinkler systems... Also.. a lot of people died because they didnt know there was an exit that was right by the stage! they just followed the mob that fourmed and paniced and tryed to rush out... Theres actually a Blueprint were it shows how many people were found insidie the building at certain spots..fucked up shit
@thomascolin12 That guy was one of the only ones going to each of the back exits of the club checking to see if people needed help getting out. Some people did get the side and kitchen exit doors open but by then if you were not right on top of the doors waiting to get out the smoke was too thick to see them. See at 5:14 how low to the ground the smoke was? Insane.
This video is a great teaching tool. As a local Fire Marshal, I use this video to educate why Fire Codes exist, and just how important they are. If this building had fire sprinklers and proper fire exits, the fire would not have spread, and the victims would have gotten out safely.
I remember this happening and watching it over and over again on the news. It is very hard to watch and the poor man running out that was on fire is horrible. Why wasn't the tool who filmed this helping people instead of filming the screams of people dying?? So many lives lost and what a way to meet your maker, smelling of booze. Definately not the way I want to meet mine. Not intending to upset anyone or offend anyone. Sorry if I did. . My prayers still go out to all who were affected.
moast of the ppl died cause the door war jammed with ppl, and let me guess, there was no sprinklersystem and the only fire-extinguisher was hidden in the black smoke.!
I'd hate to sound ignorant and cold, but I feel that so many more would have survived if they had just calmed down and cooperated while making their way to the exit.
@DAYSandMONTHS I concur. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to use pyrotechnics in a small space? It disgusts me to think that 100 would still be alive today were it not the stupidity of a few.
@Voltan their tour manager set em up. that's what happens when you have bullshit pyrotechnics and a venue that has been grandfathered in because of it's age, lacking all modern fire prevention, you add the fact that everyone is going to rush the exit they came through in the first place and this is what happens. It's difficult to watch after the main entrance goes up and the screams..
@seandeyoung01 Those people would of have molten plastic raining down on them, it's that fight or flight mechanism. It may sound disturbing but those people are going to kill each other to get out of that place.
@DAYSandMONTHS how were you supposed to calm down? Even if nobody would have panicked most of them headed for the only exit they thought which was available. They got stuck and the whole place filled with black toxic smoke in almost a minute...
@DAYSandMONTHS You're not arrogant or cold, but you've also never faced burning alive in a building. Once the rush starts, it starts. That's what I am told by my uncle (recently passed R.I.P. Uncle Mickey) a fireman and fire investigator. He told me it starts and even clear thinking people panic.
I am from Scandinavia and Firemen actually use this video to educate people how dangerous fire smoke is and how fast a fire can develope. I saw it myself on a big screen in the Fire Department in my hometown. Personally I cant tell if the filmer did right or wrong but the video DID serve a purpose and many many will save their lives in the future because of it. I still have nightmares.
I confused as to which exit the cameraman came out of. It looks like he crawled under something to get out, and then the next moment he turns around and you can see the front entrance with everyone piled up.
They were'nt dying in hell,they died in a nightclub.
It not Jesus's fault that there was a fire there its the stupid band members who let off fireworks and the owners of the building who had not installed safety into the building and had foam ceilings...so terrible.
Also...Jesus did save many lives..there was like 400 in the club...300 survived !!!
As for the other poor souls...it was probably theyre time to go...very very sad...but must stop blaming God 4 their stupidity
they showed this video in my mom's fire safety class at work. the fireman that was teaching my mom and her other workers said alot of the people at this concert were already drunk.
so stop calling that girl stupid & bitch cause shes worried about her hair, shes drunk
la proteccion contra incendio, no es un juego señores, mucho ojo con lo que las normas de los paises estan dejando hacer a los constructores de edificaciones.
The valuable lesson here is to always check for emergency exits when you go anywhere! And to not rush for the front door! I remember this like is was yesterday. May they rest in peace.
My dad was supposed to go to this show, but ended up not going, he feels bad because he was a fireman and could have helped the victims. he lost three friends in this tragedy.
not to make this even more horrifying, but did anyone else notice the guy at 6:15 walking out on fire and after that, several people still moving not able to get out, laying at the entrance engulfed in flames? The most visible is the guy in the very bottom right of the doorway.
This is a perfect reason why you need to look around where emergency exits are when you go places. All the people flocked to the entrance door to try and get out. Such a sad video
At 6:18 there is a person in the door way just to the left of the corner of the van who is on fire. He then walks down the length of the rail walking away from the camera...head still on fire. It's very sad. I have trouble with the fact that although people were at the door when the pile up was already there, they couldnt seem to get anybody out. Like the 9/11 jumpers...it just makes me so much want to help them.
@Mezcalycigarros PEOPLE ARE $LAVE$ IN TOTALLY IGNORANT AND ARROGANT=(LIBERATION AND PURIFICATION TOTEM IS COMING OVER=)WAKE UP=MAD WORD=SADNESS SADNESS
Who is more to blame---the idiot that set off the fireworks or the owner of that deathtrap of a club?
I say the club owner is far more culpable.
Sure it was crazy to set off fireworks in such a place. But that club was such a disaster waiting to happen that just about anything could have done it---bad wiring, an electrical appliance exploding, a carelessly lit cigarette, etc.
The club owner should have had a sprinkler system! This is century and a half old technology! There is no excuse.
@SuperPoxuz It didn't have one, but it should have had one if the fire code had been correctly applied to the building. If it'd had one, there might very well have not been any deaths.
I did not know that there was footage of this fire until I stumbled on this clip. I watched in horror as people in the corridor disappeared in red and white flames just inches from safety. This is a great video for educational purposes and it should be shown to all people. Things happen in fires we do not think of like the smoke being so thick and poison to breath, power going out and no clear exits in sight. Know away around the buildings you enter, you never know when you might need to escape.
I'll never forget that night glued to the TV. Absolutely horrifying. Please everyone, be respectul on this thread. This footage should only exist to warn people of the dangers of a fire in a crowded place. My condolences still go out to all the burned survivors, and the families and friends of all those who were lost tragically that night. Please be safe.
Their guitar player TY LONGLEY died in the fire.He was from sharon,pa not more than 20min from where I live.Hard to lose hometown heros.R.I.P.Ty you will and are missed
As gut-wrenching and primally terrifying as this is, EVERYONE needs to see it--people do not understand how fast fire can overwhelm just as they fail to comprehend the destructive power of water. Panic kills, but so does slow reaction & lack of preparedness. ALWAYS know where all exits are & GET LOW & GET OUT EARLY.
@Beorning1972 the problem is, the other exits were blocked off, there were stories of a woman that was pushed back by the bouncer because it was the " band's exit" .
@entidad77 unfortunately that is true. They did lose their guitarrist in the fire. They should've known better than to use pyrotechnincs that are basically as tall as the ceiling. Confetti would've been better but they were warned not to use pyro that night.
@Jpequalsme not accurate....club's stage mgr tells bands where to put pyro & if it's not allowed....unfortunately he perished in this fire also. the bottom line came down to the material used to soundproof.....the equivalent of splashing gasoline on the walls & not something considered safe for soundproofing a stage. How did that EVER pass code & why were bands repeatedly allowed to use pyro in this venue? There is footage of another band using pyro in the club days prior.
They NEVER did pass code however the owners were somehow able to keep concerts going. I live about 20 minutes from this fire and, like everyone else around here, I was troubled to learn what sentences the nightclub owners received. Michael Derderian got 4 years in prison. Jeffrey Derderian received 500 hours of community service. It was a fucking slap in the face of those families who lost loved ones in the fire.
@AESOPPOSEA1 That guy should have been punished more than he was. Not only was it extremely irresponsible to light pyrotechnics without knowing if it was safe to do so, but also as soon as the fire started he grabbed a camera to take a picture of it. You know, instead of maybe a fire extinguisher... a child has more sense then he did and its disgusting. The picture of him with a camera in his hands while the place is burning is on the wikipedia article.
@AESOPPOSEA1 You don't hear her scream, right after, "Oh my god, I'm bleeding?" She's probably talking about the blood in her hair. Not it being messed up. -.-
To the one filmed this fire, what the fucks wrong with you? at least 1 time you'r help where needed! At the entrance several people where stuck, drag them away so that people inside can get out......
@gonace You have absolutely no idea how valuable this footage is or the intensity of emotional and mental states these people suffered. One of the worst tragedies I have ever witnessed. The place was gone in 5 minutes. Prayers to the lost, their families, and everyone who experienced this tragedy. It changed lives that night. It changed my life watching it.
I remember when this happened but didn't realize just how horrific until I saw this video, this is such a sad & idiotic act by the owners of the nightclub & the band manager by allowing the pyro's to even be set off with the ceiling so low. It was senseless-If your the owner it is your responsibility as well as the bands to make sure there is a way to escape in case this happens, all those poor people burning & trapped just inches from escape. So sad I hope bar owners remember this incident.
This is one of the most disturbing video's i think i have ever seen. I never in my life, have seen a person on fire, where its not been a controlled stunt. Absolute kudos to the cameraman and all the other people who were seeing what help they could give. This needs to send out abit of a stronger message, that fire safety is not something to be missed, or pissed around with. Take it seriously, or have more scene's like this.
Do not put blame on the camera man, he saw flames and started to back away. I would say he got good proof on how the fire started and how the inside looked like. *Walks around endlessly like zombie, not knowing where to go or what to do.* :(
2.00-340 people stuck on entrance and escape from windows.how is this possible!!!!if just the crowd walk away in entrance the number of victims would be more smaller.btw Rip in 100 people die with no reason
in 2.30-3.40 you can see people stack in entrance and escape from windows.how is this possible!!!! if just the crowd leave the entrance the number of victims would be a lot smaller.by the way rip in 100 people
All those people trying to squeeze out one door... a horrifying sight. The owners selling too many tickets and boarding up windows and bolting fire doors costed 100 people their lives. Just horrifying. My heart was beating fast the whole video and chills came over me.
I just remember hearing about this on tv, and seeing this is heartbreaking. My heart def..went out to the people who died got hurt and etc..That place is too small for pyro and any other small intimate club..thats what arenas theaters and ampitheathers are for..Band and the club management knew they were flirting with diaster..I guess they couldnt fix stupid..Sorry to the people who suffer thru the tragedy.

This horrible fire and the deaths and injuries from it occurred for various reasons. I read the official investigative report and it stated that the main reasons for this tragedy were: 1. Pyrotechnics that should have have been permitted, 2. Non fireproof sound insulation that was extremely flammable and helped spread the fire and toxic gas, 3. No fireproof material between the sound insulation and the wood structure, creating a very powerful fuel to increase the heat inside the structure...

At 1:07 you can see Ty Longley trying to run back on the stage to get a guitar. I think he gets fire in his hair or knocked off the stage by Jack Russell who didn't stop to see what if is guitar player may need help.

Whoever filmed this had great instincts. The second the fire started, while everyone was standing around in disbelief, he was headed out the door. This is a real lesson to everybody. This is a real lesson for anyone going into a crowded place like this. Be aware that anything can happen, and make a mental note of it and to where all the exits are.

Let alone who ever they hired to set up fireworks to shoot 15 feet high in 10 root of clearance! In a room draped with sheets and other flammable items!
One corse of action is to get the hell out and don't look back till your clear!

Anyone who's been to a concert in a venue of this size, with a few hundred people, knows that EVEN CALM PEOPLE take 4 or 5 minutes to fully shuffle out of the club when the concert is over. The lucky ones knew of the other exits, and/or left immediately upon seeing flames. I'm not sure if one could design a more flammable establishment even if they were actually trying to.

Shockoach, not everyone was burned to death, in fires many people die due to smoke inhalation and being crushed to death. I'd prefer the smoke inhalation if I had to make the choice.
This video is hard to watch, it's easy to wonder "what took so long", but the response time for the fire department was very good. My husband is a firefighter and I cannot imagine how it would feel to see and smell and hear and touch all that he and other firefighters have experienced, but I certainly hope that i

If you weren't on your way out within about 10 seconds of seeing the flames, there's a good chance you wouldn't have made it.
This is another lesson like the Beverly Hills Super Club and Bradford Stadium fires - if you see any flames, hear an alarm or detector, just get out. If it's a false alarm, fine. But don't hesitate, get out. Not doing so could cost you your life.
zenmachinefilms 2 months ago 25
@zenmachinefilms I would agree after seeing this I realize if you're not making direct action to get clear of the building you will end up stuck inside, and still may! That spread faster than imaginable, a second looking for somebody would be the last thing most likely you would ever do? I can't believe all those people who made it to the door and could not get out, even pulled out, as though hell had a grip on them from one side and wouldn't let them pass!

@thomascolin12 That guy was one of the only ones going to each of the back exits of the club checking to see if people needed help getting out. Some people did get the side and kitchen exit doors open but by then if you were not right on top of the doors waiting to get out the smoke was too thick to see them. See at 5:14 how low to the ground the smoke was? Insane.

I say the club owner is far more culpable.
Sure it was crazy to set off fireworks in such a place. But that club was such a disaster waiting to happen that just about anything could have done it---bad wiring, an electrical appliance exploding, a carelessly lit cigarette, etc.
The club owner should have had a sprinkler system! This is century and a half old technology! There is no excuse.

Know away around the buildings you enter, you never know when you might need to escape.

@Jpequalsme not accurate....club's stage mgr tells bands where to put pyro & if it's not allowed....unfortunately he perished in this fire also. the bottom line came down to the material used to soundproof.....the equivalent of splashing gasoline on the walls & not something considered safe for soundproofing a stage. How did that EVER pass code & why were bands repeatedly allowed to use pyro in this venue? There is footage of another band using pyro in the club days prior.

So sad I hope bar owners remember this incident.
