I went to a concert the day after the Rhode Island fire, security out the ass and the balcony was closed off and you couldn't stand or sit anywhere that people were moving around, became lax as time went but pyro never again

The party is over.

[Marser]

Well that sucks.

[Azimuth]

Terrifying. Those poor people.. How fucking irresponsible of the club, and stupid.

[bdjackass318]

• Many people people headed for the only door available BUT were bounced off by the guards, who thought there was a fight and that some people were trying to flee without paying for drinks
  
• A black-out ensued which, coupled with the presence of the smoke, reduced the visibility to close to zero
  
• There were NO signs indicating the exit
  
• Many people mistook the toilet signs for those for the emergency exit

I hope that the timestamp of the status posted by Michele is incorrect due to some server delay, otherwise it would mean that 50 minutes after the inferno begun, many people were still alive, and god knows what they had to endure: 95% of them died for smoke inhalation, which is NOT a painless way to go at all

Worse bit is the security staff thought it was a fight and locked the exit doors for a couple of minutes, how many people probably would be alive without this mistake?
