A nightclub in Bucharest, Romania, called Colectiv was hosting a show which was advertised as featuring a full pyrotechnics display. Sounds cool, if you’re into that sort of thing. So, a herd of drunken fleshy viruses jammed into a confined space with fire shooting into the air. What could go wrong?

Nine times out of ten. Nothing. But tonight happened to be the tenth. The pyros malfunctioned and set pillars and the ceiling on fire. At first, people naturally assumed this was planned, although it quickly became apparent that it wasn’t. The ensuing stampede contributed to killing and injuring many while the fire brought burning portions of ceiling down on the panicked people. Victor Ionescu, who managed to escape with his girlfriend, told reporters:

People were fainting, they were fainting from the smoke. It was total chaos, people were trampling on each other

First reports confirmed 27 dead at the scene and over 155 injured but that number has now risen to at least 46 dead. The survivors are suffering from major burns and many are not expected to leave the hospital alive.

Just going out to the club to get fucked up and look at pretty colours and end up dead. Guess that’s why I always say I’d rather be “boring” and alive as opposed to “fun” and dead.

If you Google the "Station Night Club Fire" They have an absolutely EXCELLENT video that was shot by a professional crew. They were actually, ironically enough, filming a segment on nightclub fire safety, and were standing about 5 feet from where the fire started, from the pyrotechnics set off by the band "Great White" They kept the film rolling as they backed away, and escaped from the club. The film was actually used as part of the investigation, and they applied a time clock to it to understand the progression of the fire. I think over 100 people died in it, and it sounds just like this Bucharest fire, except much worse. The video is incredibly chilling.
I wonder if there will be cell-phone video from this fire that ever gets released?

many doesn't look at life like that. they would say life is better "purposeful and exciting" even if it is a short life than a lifetime of monotony and dullness.

im for both though... but with defined limits on both areas.

I think every person who owns anything they describe as a 'night club', when considering the sort of show to put on, should think twice about anything involving combustion. The history is long and deadly.
