Awful news:(. RIP to the victims, thoughts and condolences with their loved ones. I also hope that those injured make a recovery.

Those poor people, what a hideous way to go...

Yes Fireworks on a Stage - Inside a Club
are rare.


So whoever said yes to Fireworks in a Club
must be jailed

It has happened in Ireland too I think, it led to changes in the law for fire sfety regs.

Pyrotechnics are used safely inside venues ALL the time.
RIP to the victims and thoughts to all those injured.

Yeah the Stardust Nightclub :(

My mother was in there at the time.....she left just before the fire broke out... otherwise I may not be here.

Terrible news,thoughts with victims families today.

if you do mind me asking she a lucky lucky lady

Apparently it started when the band set fire to a flag.

Wow, this is just a freak accident.

well that was cleaver was it :nono:

Only one exit in the nightclub apparently, and 2000 people trying to get out of it.. must have been awful

jesus :sad:

i bet people were trampled to death too

Terrible:(.

Surely now questions will be raised in terms of safety? The Brazilians sure love to party, but after this there has to be some sort of inquiry and even then the pain of this tragedy won't be forgotten for the locals there obviously.

Witness said a 'weak' flare hit the ceiling, and 'spread in a matter of seconds'

Yes Smoke or Stamped to Death
a Backwards Nation
due to Fire Rules

I'm not being funny but fireworks let off in a crowded nightclub , flares let off giving off huge volumes of acrid smoke causing an instant panic to get out. And guess what only one exit for over 500 people .... Sheer madness

Apparently the ceiling tiles started burning adding to the toxic smoke... Unbelievable

My heart goes out to those poor families.. To lose so many young lives is a National tragedy..!!!

don't think it was really plan the good
