Re: The Station Nightclub Fire - Feb 2003
I'm just jumping in to say I agree that the book is a must read if the topic of the fire interests you. I think the Station fire, since it was so well documented through video, is what really got me looking into nightclub fires and human stampedes. The two things are fairly connected, as shown by the number of people who were trapped and crushed in the Station fire.

I just noticed at 6:09 you can see a person stagger out of the doorway on fire.

Re: The Station Nightclub Fire - Feb 2003
I'm glad I didn't see this at the time because I was a bit traumatized by even the verbal descriptions we were hearing on TV. I am also one of those who likes to know where the exits are (and stay close to them!) for that very reason. I decided to tough it out and watch this tonight and I'm actually really glad I did. It's not an easy watch but it very clearly shows how quickly a fire becomes out of control and inescapable. Lots of incompetence involved here with the nightclub owners and whoever set up the pyro... why bands even need explosives onstage, I'll never quite understand. The music itself was always good enough for me. But anyway, thank you for posting this, and you've definitely got me interested in reading that book too.

Re: The Station Nightclub Fire - Feb 2003
I'd love to hear your stories about it!!! I am obsessed with this tragedy and learning all I can about it. It's also made me more aware of my surroundings no matter where I am. Quote:

Re: The Station Nightclub Fire - Feb 2003
How do I post a pic? I found a pic of the inside of the station before the bodies were moved.
