And 190 of them found in bathrooms!

How big are the rest rooms there?

In the US, in some clubs, we're lucky to have 2 stalls for over 1000 people in the audience!

Using outdoor fireworks inside with a roof lined with styrofoam isn't recommended either! Idiots!

With 400 people, must have been Great White again!

I'm surprised anyone showed up for them in Rhode Island for the other tragedy very similar to this one!

Those one might be from Philippines or somewhere like that.

People didn't get burn like that here, as you can see on the first pictures of the bodies. Most of them died from intoxication.

Intoxication? I thought it was asphyxiation.

Update***
Brazil night club owner attempts suicide

SANTA MARIA, Brazil—An owner of the Brazilian night club where 235 people perished in a weekend fire tried to commit suicide, police said Wednesday, as the number of survivors seeking medical treatment after the disaster continued to rise.

Elissandro Sphor tried to kill himself with a plastic shower hose, said senior police official Lilian Carus in the town of Cruz Alta 125 kilometers (about 80 miles) from Santa Maria, where the club owner is hospitalized.

“It was clear he wanted to hang himself,” Carus told AFP, adding that a police officer arrived at the scene — a hospital where Sphor is being treated for gas poisoning — before anything happened.

Police took Sphor and three others into custody as they pieced together what caused the inferno at the Kiss nightclub, which was packed with partying students when the blaze broke out early Sunday.

About 75 injured victims of the fire are clinging to life, some in critical condition, in the college town of Santa Maria.

Meanwhile, health officials there said about 20 people have been hospitalized since the fire with symptoms of “chemical pneumonitis” after breathing in smoke and toxic gases emitted during the inferno.

The symptoms may take five days to appear and can be severe, health official Neio Pereira said.

Most of the victims died of smoke inhalation as they desperately tried to escape.

Those treated for the respiratory ailments Wednesday were in addition to 123 people hospitalized after the fire, which authorities say was sparked by a cheap flare lit by musicians as part of an illegal pyrotechnics display.

Authorities catalogued a long list of other infractions at club, including a lack of emergency lighting, non-functioning fire extinguishers and suspected overcrowding.

It also was operating with an expired license and had only one functioning exit, which survivors said was unmarked and blocked by steel barriers, making it difficult to flee the establishment.

Sphor’s doctor told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper that since the tragedy, his client — who is one of two owners of the night club — cries incessantly, has had to be put on a prescription of tranquilizers, and is emotionally “destroyed.”

Meanwhile, dozens of people late Tuesday took to the streets of Santa Maria demanding justice and stricter laws.

“We will work tirelessly until all those responsible are identified,” police commissioner Marcelo Arigony promised the demonstrators — even as many blamed the government itself for failing to carry out the inspections that might have saved lives.

Some survivors said that security guards initially blocked the exit to prevent customers from leaving the club without paying their bar tabs.

Fire chief Sergio Roberto de Abreu said his department had been in the process of reviewing the club’s fire extinguisher documentation, but that approval had not yet been given at the time of the fire.

Lawyers for the club, however, have insisted that the establishment was in full compliance.

In compliance with WHAT? I would lock those lawyers in a room covered with the same flammable insulation foam, then i'd start a fire;
when they start screaming i'd say "yes, assholes, you're dying: but don't don't worry: everything is in full compliance".

245 less sluts in the world. Good riddance. This needs to happen in every nightclub all the time

this is for sure a tragedy that shouldnt have been repeated as many times as it has. Anyone that has any common sense know not to light fireworks and pyrotechnics INSIDE an enclosed building full of flammable shit. This is just reckless and senseless

Based on first reports, appears to be like the Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island USA, with fireworks igniting acoustic material on stage. Which goes to show, more people should visit gore sites like Documenting Reality to learn to prevent deaths. On DR, we learned of the horrors of flammable acoustic material and indoor fireworks. We also learn to lock our car doors when ******* are about, and carry firearms for protection.

This is exactly why I like the states who take drunk drivers to morgues to show what can happen to others due to their lack of responsibility for themselves and others.

Drunk drivers survive sometimes because their systems are slowed down so much. They can be, "out of it, " for several days.

I also think the news in the US shouldn't be so censored because I'm not sure some people realize the damage guns and other weapons really do. All they know is what happens in movies!

"It might have happened because of the Sputnik, the machine we use to create a luminous effect with sparks. It's harmless, we never had any trouble with it.

FIRE is never 'harmless', you dipshits. It's the most devastatingly destructive force in nature.
230+ dead over a 'luminous, sparkly machine'. They didn't even get to see a decent pyrotechnics display

Just stay at home and light your farts.
