Thanks for your educated opinion, I did have the actual footage & was forced to remove it as the legal case was pending. That said modeling like this is used every day by Fire Protection Engineers. What was your field of study & what type of degree do you have? I'm about to have my breakfast cereal and I suggest you get a cereal that has a high fiber content that may give you a great deal of relief, not just that it may have a new degree in the box to broaden your horizons.

From what I heard, the place was approved for 400 people...and that's about how many got out.

@axiiomXD

Not true,

Just saw a video of the fire from start to finish, someone had recorded everything, my workplace use this video for fire training purposes here in the UK, im a 220lb man and i cried, how that fire took hold i could not believe, so many people having a good time 90 seconds later just carnage.My prayers go out to anyone affected by this.

@hipyshit your really lucky to be alive but did you leave when the fire started or what?

@ClantonBrothers this video was to show that the simulation of no sprinkers and real life no sprinkers are very similar. This was done to confirm the simulation software was accurate. There is a second video that shows what a sprinkler system would've done.

corrected amount of 462 people. My apologies.

In regards to axiiomXD's comment. According to official reports, the club capacity at the time was set at 60. The club that night held 452 people. 100 died, 230 were injured and 132 were uninjured. Don't believe everything you hear,

When you go into a nightclub or crowded restaurant take a quick look around at the exits. Remember most of the time the best exit isn't the front door(s) as they will be packed with people. And when in doubt get out, don't stand around and wait.

This is the scariest s#@t Ive ever seen. I cannnot get over how they had no time to get out. Ive seen the video and it makes me cry so hard. I have the book that Gina Russo wrote regarding how she survived this fire. My heart goes out to all that this has affected.

[ClantonBrothers]

This vid is bunk. If you want to demonstrate the effectiveness of sprinklers on a fire like this, use actual footage side by side with actual footage. Your computer animation is a fucking cartoon that can be manipulated anyway the producer wants it to be.

As someone who is friends with several survivors and has spoken with a few of the people involved allow me to say this.

The nightclub was in the process of being closed down or investigated for allowing unsafe conditions.

Great whites manager insisted they were using pyros. But I can't say whether they were approved or not.

This fire took lives and ruined countless others. The club, the regulations, whatever you want to say is at fault don't blame the people. In a situation like that you ha
