Are you fucking retarded.

I thought the puns were gonna be the worst thing in this thread but you've topped it, bravo.
Yeah this is all over the news here, thank fuck there wasn't anyone related to my family in RS. Also the 4 owners of the club are most likely getting fucked because of how horribly the building was made and how it wasn't supposed to be a club.
[QUOTE=Puni;39383134]Why are they all stopping at and blocking the doors?[/QUOTE]
They stopped them from exiting because they didn't pay there tab. Seriously.
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;39376520]Swedish media is reporting 159 dead so far and expecting for it to rise above 200.
Kind of scary since just this week I took this small fire safety course at Uni (since I'm a part of a group that holds lan parties and another that holds the bar sometimes.) and we saw this video of a club in the US that caught fire in 2003 and 100 people died in 6 minutes. Was quite brutal and the fire started the exact same way as it did here.
The stage's isolation caught fire from the pyrotechnics.[/QUOTE]
Pyrotechnics indoors is just a bad idea
All the nightclubs I've been to in Vancouver we pay as we come in. Am I missing something?

omg
<voice breaking>"Those guys are on fire!"
<voice also breaking>"I know, I know!"
I shed a few tears at that, what a horrible way to go...
[QUOTE=Deep;39381899]Cool, good thing nobody posted anything like that so far, so there's no reason to be complaining.
Also, those are not bodies, people usually don't drop dead of asphyxiation AFTER leaving a burning building, they're probably victims of the smoke waiting for treatment, and weren't taken yet due to the lack of any serious burns.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm pretty sure those people lying down on the ground are alive in that picture. One of them has his knee up in the air and his arms lying on his torso in a very natural 'resting' position. And the guy in front of him has a bottle of water nearby (and I doubt you're gonna put the dead guy's bottle of water down next to him in case he needs it).

You're not funny, go away
This kind of event makes me insanely glad that I can't stand night clubs. Bars with maybe a little dance floor off to the side? Sure, I'm alright with them. But straight up clubs? Nope. Can't stand 'em.
There is already a Wikipedia entry for this fire. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_nightclub_fire[/url]
According to it the number of dead is 233 with 131 injured.

Gotta be one of the saddest things I've ever watched.

Some nightclubs have a bill which you pay when you leave, so you don't have to bother paying every time you want to get a drink.
The nightclub's owner and security chief, along with a member of the band [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-21232740]have been arrested[/url]

And may they rot in jail for a long time for :
A : not being in line with safety regulations in any way
B : allowing pyrotechnics in an enclosed area
C : preventing emergency exits solely to get money out of people, what the fuck. Even if the guards didn't know they should know when dozens of people are screaming at you fearing for their life to let them pass
D : who the hell lets that many people in a single nightclub, that shouldn't even be legal

Only reason I know is because Red Chord named an album after it.[/QUOTE]
Okay, this part in that struck me as odd.
[quote]Some victims had ingested fumes so hot that when they inhaled cold air, as one firefighter put it, they dropped like stones.[/quote]
How is that possible?
We MUST pass a law to ban nightclubs nowww!!
Local media can't shut up about it for a sec, they just keep telling these tired information in order to get a few extra bucks from the audience.
This is UTTERLY disrespectful with the families of the victims. I'd be pissed if one o' mine was shown all spread on the street dead on T.V. every minute.

That's good, but they'll probably be free very soon.
Yesterday we had a peace walk, c. 35.000 people.
A smaller one happened today (didn't go to it), people demanded for the imprisonment of the Kiss owners and band, and for the impeachment of the mayor (who let the nightclub operate illegaly among other things).

Fuck, I live around there so it was on the news all the damn time.
Gave me fucking nightmares, it still scares the shit out me to watch it. That events has fucking scarred me.
The image of the man coming out of the building completely engulfed in flames has been burned in my head for so long.
And the way that after only a few minutes, its so much quieter.

Fuck I shouldn't be watching this again.
[quote]Some testimonials from* the firefighter who worked out in the tragedy in Brazil last weekend:
"There were about 180 stacked bodies in the bathrooms. There was 2 meters high pile of bodies."
"The mobile phones in the pockets of the victims don't stop ringing"
[b]"There was a body whose mobile phone had the following message in the display: Mom 104 missed call"[/b]
The official numbers so far: 231 deaths, more than 100 injured, of which about 40 are seriously injured. The victims age: 20-25 years old.[/quote]
I'm tearing up something heavy here.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;39392922]Okay, this part in that struck me as odd.
How is that possible?[/QUOTE]
Lung tissue can go into shock and refuse to absorb oxygen. They'll breathe and breathe and breathe until their brain asphyxiates, and they'll die of asphyxiation probably still breathing. The change in temperature from breathing 120+ to a colder night is more than enough to do that.
