Well it seems that the hair band Great White killed those folks in the nightclub, no where on there tour "rider" was anything about the pyrotechnics that burned down the club kill 86 people. http://www.thesmokinggun.com
The band Great White's performance rider contains no mention whatsoever of pyrotechnics being used during the rock group's current tour of clubs and small theaters, The Smoking Gun has learned. TSG today (2/21) obtained copies of the band's rider from two separate promoters who booked shows by the group during the past month. A copy of the Great White performance specs can be found below. A third promoter, Domenic Santana, told TSG that the band set off a pyrotechnic display without his permission during a show in Asbury Park, New Jersey last Friday (2/14), putting the "lives of a lot of people in danger." Santana, owner of the Stone Pony, said that he "had no idea" that pyrotechnics were part of the rock band's show and pointed to Great White's standard performance rider, which makes no reference to pyrotechnic displays. Last night, at least 86 concertgoers were killed and 170 people were hurt at a West Warwick, Rhode Island show when the club erupted in flames following a pyrotechnic display during the group's opening song. Owners of The Station, the Rhode Island club where scores perished, this afternoon released a statement claiming that they, too, were never told about Great White's pyrotechnic plans.

Twenty-one people were killed and more than 50 injured early Monday after a security guard used pepper spray to break up a fight that erupted in the second-floor nightclub known as E2.
In the panic, club-goers were squashed in the stairway to the first floor. Bodies were trampled and flattened against the glass door at the bottom of the stairwell.

lol the best part is i saw the footage from inside that place during the show! You can clearly see 2 hugh flame canisters burning back behind the band and see that the flames are easily hitting the ceiling. Any 12 year old would have realized this was not a good idea.
Them dudes must have neen way way way out of it to not notice what was going on.
even the guy with the cam was up front till he saw the blast and flames the clear see the smart guy getting to the back of the club in a hurry.
Funny thing is i can imagine that many people going to a GW show, i wonder how many servived?
Either way its tragic .
Box:rolleyes:
