So tragic that this can happen and apprantly more than once. Pyrotechnics in a small club with roof 2,5 meters hight...

Couldn't sleep last night after I had watched it, but as indicated in text this is an important reminder/eye opener so good thing it is up there on youtube. I suppose it is sanctioned by the Station Fire Memorial Fund.]]> perf NoticeboardTue, 29 Jan 2013 19:18:52 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928600#msg-928600 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928600#msg-928600 rocknut NoticeboardTue, 29 Jan 2013 04:18:24 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928578#msg-928578 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928578#msg-928578The owners of the club didn't have the updated permit.
The place only had ONE single door to get in/get out.
The vocalist of the band was playing with some kind of firework (insane)
The security personal, at the entrance, at first, didn't want to let the people out without paying.
Expired fire extiguishers.
People above the limit inside
and the list goes on and on. It was really a tragedy. But could be avoided.]]> Almir NoticeboardMon, 28 Jan 2013 23:38:23 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928539#msg-928539 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928539#msg-928539 Captain Can Man NoticeboardMon, 28 Jan 2013 17:26:40 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928510#msg-928510 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928510#msg-928510 bighairaddict NoticeboardMon, 28 Jan 2013 07:22:06 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928505#msg-928505 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928505#msg-928505 kingnoony NoticeboardMon, 28 Jan 2013 06:59:58 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928490#msg-928490 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928490#msg-928490
Have you ever seen footage of a panicking crowd? It's fascinating stuff. As the movie quite goes (excuse the paraphrasing) "....a person is smart, people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals..."]]> rocknut NoticeboardMon, 28 Jan 2013 04:05:07 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928487#msg-928487 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,928487,928487#msg-928487
