[elucidative]

Wow, I used to party there. I knew a girl who worked there too a while ago. Pretty big fire.

[Rinry]

[patrick112590]

Holy shit. I go there for school. :s

[vtmissy]

[jalenrose]

My friend Ben got caught in the fire, now he's in the hospital fighting for his life :(

[spasupal]

@jalenrose oh shut up no one died in the even

[xtremestunt]

Fuck. Now I'm not applying to Waterloo.

[BrotherSneaks]

@xtremestunt This should be your 157th reason not to apply to UW

[littlegoobie]

@BrotherSneaks Yep.  People always search for a reason outside themselves when their application is denied.

[BackYardBombin]

people in university thies days thank god im in grade 11

[Lethargied]

@BackYardBombin

I don't how you're in grade 11 when you can't even spell these right...even so, how do you miss the 'e' and hit 'i' instead they are on opposite sides pretty much. You need to stay back a few more years.

[jeffreypang911]

Wow, I was at that plaza a week ago.

Scary.

[devon111100]

rip sugar moutain and mels diner along with the other shit they better rebuild it

[insaneapples]

NOT MEL'S!! WHYYY???

[Airplane299]

WOW. I drove by that at 6:30am while the fire was happening(at the front scene)! I got acouple shots of it, but no videos or anything. And when I saw the fire live, the sky was totally pitch black.

[fangs1234]

This is very sad :(

I hope that the businesses can be restored eventually.

[dirtymexican3]

surgar mountian D:

[persiangurl2008]

My uncle's store got burnred down..watching this makes me cry :(

[K7E7I]

lol @ Master Sushi in the video description

[SupaBB]

Totally gonna miss Mr. Sushi and Mel's.... some of the best food on campus......

[fastcarsandfreedom]

If you look at the exterior of the building you can see that the electricity stayed on throughout this massive fire--strange and impressive...well insulated wiring I guess

[SGSHADOWOD]

Holy shit, good thing my sister wasn't out to dinner that night. MISS YOU KRISTIN VANDEN BOOGAARD, HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT.

[mcke1780]

@SGSHADOWOD Good thing... She would have missed the fire by like 12 hours...

[Chea112]

tabu is garbage anyway .. but yee damnn shamee for mels diner n sugar mountain

[jrsauced]

waterloo's night life and promoters are a joke anyways lol only thing that matters is mels and mr sushi R.I.P get some money and enjoy real club entertainment in toronto

[SolarCel]

don't these places have sprinkler systems?

[KTOSSENTERTAINMENT]

Crazzzzy!!! We were just there for the last party on Saturday with Tony Monaco!!! FACEBOOK DJ KTOSS if you would like to see pics from the last party there!!

[KTOSSENTERTAINMENT]

WOW!!! I was there for my BDAY BASH with Tony Monaco for the last party!! It was insane!!!!

[mrkrazycool]

sugar mountain :(

[swata7]

fiend insurance frauds!!! gg

[SexWithYourSocksOn]

Wow... had to be for the insurance. No fire THAT big just starts out of nowhere, and at that time in the morning (when everyone is conveniently sleeping).

[michnish]

Sugar Mountain and Mel's Diner??? Why God why?

2 of my favorite places in the town hands down. End of an era

[nearfantastica]

I can't believe that man, I used to go to Mel's all the time in high school. Big loss for sure. And Sugar Mountain!! Not the candy store!! Ohhhh the humanity :(

[Hollu06]

That's insane. Reminds me of my house fire, but on a MUCH BIGGER scale. I'd only been to Mel's twice, but it was so good both times. :(

[0Camron0]

im so upset, i loved mel's

[dharmesh1989]

Oh boy, this is absolutely terrible!

[bunnybones2]

Tabu was an inside job. What about tower 7?

[carlswanson82]

Another big nightclub fire! Remember the Lyric and Metropolis? How odd, Tabu JUST opened in January. They paid their employees in cash and were apparently bleeding money. This smells like an insurance scam.

[aragorn01234]

@carlswanson82

Well, if it IS arson, the fire investigators should find it. Initial word was they thought it started in Tabu. Mel's didn't have a chance - being a 50's diner - once the flames reached it, it went up quick!

[insaneapples]

@carlswanson82 Well Im gonna drive up from T.O and kick them in the nuts if that's true... they took down Mel's! I loved that place...

[Noraa666]

@carlswanson82 except the fire didn't start at the club. How would I know? I work 4 blocks away at a gym at night and was there mins after it started.

Good theory though.

[M3phisto90]

@carlswanson82 Is this confirmed?? cause there's no way Tabu was bleeding money if it had a manager with any business sense.

[l34f3r]

tabu and 140 west gone....good riddance!

[aragorn01234]

They actually managed to save Caesar Martini's (though they'll have a fair bit of water and smoke damage). Hopefully the owner of the plaza will rebuild (and not level the whole thing to put up something different).

[skipperope]

@aragorn01234 hope they dont put up another apartment building...we have enough of those popping up around the area

[shannonerdelyi]

MELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[gonegonenyc]

140 west AND caeser's? where will all the assholes go to party now? This is truly a sad day
