Jesus christ check that nightclub fire in the US, guy captured the start of the fire on video. 39 dead so far and they are still digging for more.

Fox 35 if you have it.

f***

s*** that would suck. How many fire exits would a standard club have anyway?

Pyrotechnic display behing the band set fire to the sound foam behind the drummer. Place goes up in like 3 minutes with 300 people inside it...

you can see whoever is videoing it suddenly gets smart and starts to back out of the club real fast, but a lot seem to think the stage being on fire is part of the show...then it all goes to s***.

Ok, we need to have some linkage to video footage. Any news sites have it up yet?

Hmm reminds me of that Brisbane nightclub which was destroyed in an arson attack like 30 years or something ago. It's not the fire I'd be worried about, it's the toxic smoke from all the plastics and other synthetic materials.

WEST WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 21 — A huge fire engulfed a Rhode Island nightclub during a rock concert’s pyrotechnics display, killing at least 39 people, authorities said early Friday. Around 160 people were injured, some critically, as mobs of concertgoers frantically rushed to escape the raging fire. The tragedy came four days after 21 people were killed during a stampede in a Chicago nightclub.

Yes Hunter, that was the Whiskey A go go..I have seen the pictures.

That club you're talking about was the Whiskey-A Go Go club Hunter.

:)

Checkmate Psycho.

yet another disaster there...

This is getting worse by the hour. Looks like 54 dead now.. Almost makes you want to avoid crowded places and venues these days. You never know if proprietors are abiding by regulations ect..

they'll probably blame it on Iraq...

thats not good at all.... :(

So this is another nightclub disaster within what one or two weeks? s***, wouldnt want to own a nightclub right now... youd think business might go down a little :/

nothings stopping me from going to Family next friday! :D

well, thats here and not there so... :P

Speaking of fires, (f***ing air con, my fingers are so cold that I am having trouble typing :P) anyone seen that big fire/explosion in new york refinery... BANG! Dunno muc about it right now. Fire is still to big to get close to apparently...?

nothings stopping me from going to Family next friday! :D

Nothing stopped me from going out tonite.

you go to the dome?
Cus if you did maby you saw dildo woman?

At least 75 people were killed and more than 160 hurt as a Rhode Island nightclub erupted in flames during a rock concert Thursday night, local authorities said.

I didn't know people still went to 'rock' concerts. Sounds so 80's.

Well I was nowhere near the dome last night i was in the valley. But if you say what happened actually happened why haven't i heard about that it.

Latest reports are stating that now 95 people are dead and more than 190 people are injured. All in all its a bad week for nightclubs in America ...

As for the exits it's usually about 2 or 3 exits for each club.

Also there was a camera in the nightclub as well to do a doco on nightclub security. It was the owner of the nightclub who was using the camera.

Does this mean that stupid "fire in the disco" song will be banned?

holy s***:/

u guys been downstairs at the regatta? that place is a fire hazzard:/ so is alice's in the city... egads... most of the places i have seen would be traps if there were a fire. farken...

PJ Obriens would be a death trap. Dunno why people bother going there anyway.

Yeah those inner city pubs make you wonder about getting out in a fire. They certainly feel a little claustrophobic.

the dome is also a bit of a worry, not as bad as some tho!

btw whats this bout the dome and dildo woman or whatever?

I heard nothing about it, so I think its all splat's doing.

wow thats scary... made even scarier by the fact that I have been to that night club in rhode island about 2.5 years ago.

the fire exits didnt seem to bad, but in a packed club, it would still take ages to evacuate that place (hell, in a packed nightclub it takes 15 mins to get to the bar, let alone evacuate!)

This is why I hate nightclubs.. I much perfer the atmosphere of pubs and taverns :D And I'm a live music addict :(

Have you ever been to the Family, Grosby?

Beats any pub hands down for atmosphere.

8-)

Nah, i've heard it's s*** and I've heard it's all dancing. I'm not a dancer :P

And, as said, I perfer the atmosphere of clubs.

Family is a club.

Checkmate mr trampoline.

Come in this Friday night and I'll give you a set of glowsticks and you'll be dancing in no time.

bleh I ment pubs! :P tyop!

and I'm not going out Friday night, might be going Saturday if you're lucky, but even then, after last weekends event, Sarah and I are going to stay in for a loooong time.

Asif clubs... glowsticks are for KIDS.

Didn't you only start going outside this year Hunter?

Uh no... Haven't you got some cheap ecstasy laced with fluoro light dust to be ingesting?

Not until next Friday.

Heh, for WHAT exactly? ;)

I'm his manager aren't i sphinx :D

Heh, for WHAT exactly? ;)

I go to family, the beat and the pubs in brunswick mall.

I was driving in the valley on Saturday morning around 2:00 am and I went past the beat, now let me say this: WTF? So many wierdos hanging around outside there, some guys playing friggin bongo drums or something. Place I want to avoid driving through, too many drunks walk out in the middle of the road.

too many drunks walk out in the middle of the road.

Yeah, nearly wiped out a few drunks on sat nite.
