Re: The Station Nightclub Fire
That's horrible. The 2:00 is awful, seeing those people trapped almost like zombies all piled up, ashame they couldn't get up & out. Wondering if people toppled over people & that's what caused alot of the deaths, people seems unable to move outside. By 6:00 the thing is gone, and so is everyone inside.
Cramer I'm with you. When this first happened admittedly I was kindof a dick thinking 'Well who goes to a Great White concert in 2003' thinking it was funny. It was some time later where I realized 'you know what, I might have gone there as a joke if they came to my local cover band bar'. I too used to goto similar type bars in my 20s, I saw Stuttering Johns band come thru once, but mostly it was just local cover bands, crammed with 100-200 young adults standing around watching, drinking cheap beer, and looking to hook up. Now they just use Tinder I suppose.

I talked to my brother briefly about this when we saw each other that year. It was the first thing he said was "that was the type of show you'd go to." He knew we like the older bands and see small shows, big shows...whatever.
Panic is an amazing thing. Oddly in that film, I didn't see panic immediately. Probably because the person filming it was first out, as were so many others. But then panic set in, and a bottle neck occured. At least that's what it looks like. I know back in the old days before they had updated fire safety codes, people had died because the doors opened inwards. A fire would start, people would rush the doors, but it would then be impossible to open them.
I found it amazing how quickly the fire spread. Likewise, how quickly a fun moment could morph into a terrifying one. I'm kind of sorry I watched the video to be honest. To me it's worse than watching 911 buildings, it's much more personal.
