Video from inside Santika Nightclub moment before fire broke out.

[opsvideo2008]

All that is needed to start a fire in this club is for one of it's guest to carelessly dispose the sparkler, like dropping it into a rubbish bin full of inflammable materials. That is why nightclubs are dangerous places; your life is actually dependent on many people behaving in a responsible manner. And that is most of the time not going to happen when liquor, cigarettes, sparklers, pyrotechnics & people having a good time are involved.

God, people can be fucking stupid..

[ukufo1]

shitty party, id fuk that chick though up her shit house

[Metallskalle4Life]

yeah, right. happy new year and may you be given lots of happiness... by fireworks inside a full night club with only one exit!!

[mariothao]

OMG...Fire sparklers in a Night Club..wtf..felt sorry for it..Peace for those RIP

[williambrown007]

If a club has only one entrance, I am not going in there.

[ukufo1]

@williambrown007 c u later then

[MarcoA1971]

I have a question, not to take away from the tragedy of this..prayers to everyone involved...

My question is. Are safety iconcerns in establishments out there more laid back? I mean, thats a whole lot of drunk people in one building holding sparklers. even if there was no concern of a fire burning down the place. wouldn't there be a concern for someone accidentally burning someone else? I think thats a valid question. wouldn't know where else to ask it.

[ukufo1]

@MarcoA1971 i have the answer! omlettes

[omymisaki]

my teacher was there when he used to be a cop he said 103 people died...or 102 I forget which

[prashanthaku]

O_O using so much of fireworks indoors was really a bad idea. Safety comes first. no offense :( so many wouldn't have died

[trucksoner]

this kind of incident is sad and pathetic

every government around the world should just force each city to have it's inspectors go to each nightclub and if they don't have enough marked exits then it's closed down right away

of course if they fix it up they should be allowed to reopen

[TheZoturen]

when u like me been living in thailand for some years ur NOT surprised that something like this could happen.... but may they R.I.P

[bertinju789]

its bad... people death at new years eve..?

[mrbastad]

yep she still alive but her faces has big wounded & injured .

[cxpm777]

how do you know? I hope you are knowing it for sure and not lying

[curiosityfuck]

I wonder the lady on the viedo, she was alive,wasn't she?

[raulsaenz]

she is one of the persons burned to death she calcinated because she was too far away from the exit

[williambrown007]

When you sais calcinated, Im like damn. A woman beautiful face on video and 45 minutes later, she is like melted wax:(

[LiYeungJae]

did the singers survive?

[hemabkk]

ofcourse the singers and the workers

knew that there was a backstage exit

but the public didn't know

bad people

[ib200110019]

Just a warning...this video is taken from a dead body's cell phone camera. good luck to all of us watching it!

[drronnie]

Really? How do you know this?

[g3nd0]

Thai people dont think about consequences or safety ever. I've been in there and other clubs in Bangkok on event nights and they pack too many ppl in. so i tend to stay clear. But there isn't 1 fire exit.. there is the main exit thent he whole of the back wall is doors, there is the exit to the side that leads backstage too. not enough i know but people saying 1 exit.. if there was the toll wud have been more.

[DC180]

This fire was dodgey.. It was a setup.

[LookMaNoBrains]

with Hundreds of fire-stick + alcohol...

hmmmm Smart combination for a perfect disaster idea.

[hakie567]

The fire started after this clip 45 minutes.

[bear24rock]

fire started at 12.45am

[samanthacheok]

the fire DID NOT start during (or right after)the count down... it started about half past midnight... this footage was taken during the countdown itself...

[mikic68kom]

The Management Team must have been Idiots to have something like that indoors, SHAME ON YOU !!

[msethisuwan]

my goodness! a countdown to disaster.

[cxpm777]

this is very disturbing, however I do not see the fire starting

[everlast28]

so did u take this video?

[cooldude91801]

Fortunately, I didn't. I would not be able to sleep at night if I did.

[DanteAntonelli]

@cooldude91801 I just can't begin to imagine the horror of watching as flames race towards the ceiling as you realize you just have SECONDS to save your life!!!

What made them think it was a good idea to light up sparklers inside that place!!!

[WildSkiesUK]

I can't believe they thought that wasn't going to end in disaster - look at the number of 1000° sparklers!

[cooldude91801]

It was a perfect storm of disaster. Sparklers, hard liquor, party decoration materials, party dress, 1 emergency exit.

[aroundtheworls]

It wasn't the sparklers, it was the fireworks let off by the next set.

[mengpat]

it's kinda silly to fire fireworks in the club where is not open-air place..

[cooldude91801]

The management must have been smooking crack to let club goers holding fire crackers in their hands.

The crasiest part the theme of the party was called "Goodbye Santika" and their in house band was called "BURN".
