Great White got the blame for that one and paid millions in restitution for the lose of life. No one went to jail for any wrong doing. Worse yet if I remember correctly, the club owners were ticketed for fire code violations. What? If you have enough money.......

In many places the amount of decorations and the use of pyro is very regulated due to these fires. A sprinkler system helps reduce the heat and speed of fire spread, but often the smoke is the killer.

Theaters used to use asbestos curtains before that material was deemed hazardous. In many clubs the use of fabrics for acoustic treatments to reduce echoes is often done without any regard to the possibility changing the fire safety of the building.

If you work in theater, check the flammability rating of the scrims and curtains used on stage and near the stage. A licensed pyrotechnics should be used for any pyro effects. This fire appears to be due to a combination of flammable curtains and stage effects that were too large for the stage.

A clear lack of a fire watch with extinguishers or fire-hose permitted the ignited material to quickly spread.

Some venues require approval by the fire department for any pyro effects. The approval process includes a full inventory of the effects to be used, the make and type of stage decoration, the license of the effects operator and safety.

Think safety in any public venue you visit.

Wikipedia says the paid out less than $1,000,000 and all four people charged did at least 3 years in prison.

That video was something else, seeing all those people trapped in the door way and then 2 minutes later seeing the entire doorway on fire and later some random person running out of the building ablaze was really shocking.

The Station nightclub fire was the fourth deadliest nightclub fire in American history, killing 100 people. The fire began at 11:07 PM EST, on Thursday, February 20, 2003, at The Station, a glam metal and rock n roll themed nightclub located at 211 Cowesett Avenue in West Warwick, Rhode Island.

The fire was caused by pyrotechnics set off by the tour manager of the evening's headlining band, Great White, which ignited flammable sound insulation foam in the walls and ceilings surrounding the stage. A fast-moving fire engulfed the club in 5½ minutes. Some 230 people were injured and another 132 escaped uninjured. Video footage of the fire shows its initial growth, billowing smoke that quickly made escape impossible, and the exit blockage that further hindered evacuation.

Many fire codes now require glass fiber bats and glass fiber cloth for acoustic wall treatment because of this.

Poland, that's one of the many reasons I have a zero bullshit tolerance with people. If you lose your head or joke around during times like that, or even in general, you could possibly get hurt or even killed. If those people had remained calm, and didn't shove each other around then they probably would have survived. But that really is shocking. The worst part is around the 4:00 mark hearing the woman bitch about her hair being burned. I mean really? All the people around you who need help and your worrying about your damn hair?

To her defence she followed it with something like "omg I'm bleeding!" meaning that adrenaline (and other bodily chemicals) were running rampant through her body and concealing any pain; i.e. she was probably in shock and people say stupid shit when they're in shock.

I thought it was strange of the camerman to not help pull people from the doorway although he was one of the few who went around back and kicked in some windows.

I was hearing about the possibilities of what could happen before the gavel fell. If you read the last section it talks about the offerings, then what was done. The bands money (benefit concerts) played a big roll in it, and some people still haven't settled. I'm betten the injured people like the guy who ran out on fire.
