Seriously...why do people use pyrotechnics and fireworks/sparklers INSIDE A BUILDING? That's for outdoor use only. We lost the Station Nightclub in Rhode Island and almost 100 more lives because of this.
nobody ever learns that pyrotechnics are for large venues and out doors. just like in Rhode Island USA 100+ more senseless deaths. A night of fun turns tragic because of some moron.
FIRE EXITS, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, AND NOT HAVING INDOOR FIREWORKS, could have potentially avoided many deaths on that terrible day. BUT who really knows, maybe the sprinklers failed, the doors jambed, and for some reason the ceiling had some extremely flammable materials in it do to it being old.
Life is a gamble. You take risks just walking down the street. There are just too many factors involved to say "this would prevent this and that" 'cause in the end, you never really know. That's life.
It's truely a race against the rising smoke and heat that builds up. Add to that the confusion and chaos of the crowd struggling to exit through the same door. You become tired of trying to push yourself through the crowd and before you know it you pass out from smoke inhalation. Best wishes and condolences to all these families.
Half the guests dieing and with numerous injuries, that's such a shame. This clip gives you a sense from the start at how quickly things can change and some of those pretty and charming people are no longer with us. One kind thing this video shows are the people move the table out of the way which hopefully helped.
@ clever625 spoken like a true muppet, what do you know about what the situation was? maybe the fire took off quicker than the few minutes it took for people to get out .. ppl died from burns and smoke enhalation, there might have been things falling down around them that were on fire that you know nothin about ... why would you even write a comment like that after 100 ppl die in a place? not so clever are ya?
I feel bad for the people who lost their live's that day too but honestly, watching the video footage, the fire began on the roof and doesn't smoke usually travel up?
I saw people rushing out of the club...the cameraman was filming the fire and then he or she ran towards the exit. how long did that take? hmmm.??? not pretty long. The people that died were probably drunk off their asses.
What an idiot. Did you not see how fast the black smoke was already at that door when a guy tried to open it? Everyone behind him was still in there, Yeah when you have a little camp fire the smoke goes in the air, well done!
Go look at The Station nightclub fire, you;ll see how fast the fire takes and how hard it is for folk to get out.
Right after the fireworks go off it is probably a good time to head for the door...fire or no fire! Just the fact that it is not outside in a field should be enough to get you out the door in time. Oh and i love the guy pushing all the women out of his way. Classic!!! I bet he feels like a real Asshole right about now! I hope they identify him.
everybody cares only because they are white and blondes... same thing happened june 6th, but it happened on a kindergarden.. 31 kids below 5 years old dies and nobody in the world payed attention!!!
Believe it or not this happens everywhere. UNITED STATES In 2003, the band made headlines when The Station nightclub fire led to the deaths of 100 people in West Warwick, Rhode Island, including the band's guitarist Ty Longley, who had been a member of the band for three years.
From the bottom of my heart, I sympathize with with parents relatives and friends in your great tragic loss of a loved one. "They died in such a terrible, grotesque way."
This is a tragedy. My sympathy to the families of those who died. My anger towards the people who let it happen...again. This is the third time in six years the world has suffered a tragedy under these circumstances.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Hey guys, lets go to a club with no fire exits, no sprinklers, and a dry tikigrass roof. I hear they put a shitload of fireworks above the ceiling! It should be great!".
We laugh because it's funny. You can feel bad for them if you like. I say Darwin strikes again.
nightclubs and fireworks, as stupid as gas stations and lighters... im sorry for all of those who had to give their lives so other stupids nightclub's owners can learn
It seems to be the way that people only learn lessons after things have gone terribly wrong.. Because will this lead to night clubs All over the world checking their safety and fix the lack of escape routes? I highly doubt it.. the only way that such a fix will take place.. is after the night club has witnessed an accident like this.
Yes and here vodka? You at all do not know people which there were! All provided decent people from good families! And into the vodka account., you expensive foreign citizens and it is more than us Russian drink! Condolence drops! As you so can write about people! When at you the grief occurs, Russia the first to the aid flies! And you!!! It is a pity to me you! Anything human! A shame to you!

Don't get me wrong. I feel sorry for the innocent people who had no idea what's going on there but for those had an amazing idea of having an indoor fireworks show I don't feel a tiny bit sorry , stupidity is expensive. Only the poor innocents suffer for someone else's idicity.

Let's see, 200+ panicked people rushing towards one exit from fear of death = NOT GOOD... HOLY SHIT this is one bad way to go. People will never learn
Tragedies like this are always preventable. I wouldn't just blame night clubs though. Planes are made out of flammable material, houses older than 50 years would go up in flames in minutes (insulation is newspaper!!). I really wish more was done for fire prevention. They were beautiful, young people. My condolences to their families.
I hope this puts an end to pyrotechnics inside small nightclubs, they should be banned. Killed 100 people in the Station Nightclub in Rhode Island, USA. What a horrible way to go...
I offer no political view, I offer no religious view, just heartbreak and sadness for this terrible loss of life. My deepest sympathy to the Russian people. :-(....
My sincerest condolences to the Russian people on this tragic day. Seeing the bodies of those people was heart wrenching, but I can't imagine the horror the people experienced. I pray for the victims and their families. I pray this never happens again.
