Holy shit that's a huge fucking fire

Damn that is horrible news...for sure not a good night for club goers

Great White. Aren't they from the 80's?

"It went up like a Christmas tree," Jack Russell, Great White's lead singer, told The Providence Journal. "I was trying to put it out with a bottle of water. I turned around and the building was engulfed. My sound man is injured. I'm on my way to the hospital. I'm missing my guitar player."

I wonder if the guitar player is still MIA?

Wonder if they were playing either "Burning House Of Love" or "Fire And Water" at the time..

I know that

I'm hearing 200+ people in the bar - 60-80 in hospitals and "several" dead - "serveral" unaccounted for including one band member.

at least 10 dead over 100 injured. News mentioned they'd not found one of the guitar players.

Fire started witrh fireworks the band was using...

Wonder what happened to the club's sprinkler system. Also you'd think if they were using pyros they'd have someone on hand to put stuff out in case something went awry.

They were Class 5 fireworks and basically harmless, like sparklers in a way..They set the sound proffing on fire. A Local TV station had a camera man in there for a different reason and they filmed it starting..10 Known dead, over 100 in the hospital with 30 critical and they say they're still bodys in the club..

Latest is at least 26 dead, 60 critical in the hospital of more than 160 who went to the hospital. Guitar player, Mark Kendall, still missing.

I wonder if you'll all be so concerned with the welfare of innocent Iraqi's when the bombs start dropping...

Many people here will care, but some of the right wingers will be dancing in the street and laughing. Of course, CNN won't be running with that footage. :)

It's the news. Tons of news stories are mentioned here daily. Nothing more than that in most cases.

may their souls rest in peace

Probably about as concerned as the Iraqi's are about the people that died in the club.

What innocent Iraqi's? Hey, its their own fault if they chose to live under that bullshit motherfucker. They have no balls to mass rebel against him so this is the price they will pay. We have to do it for them, and unfortunately many will die anyway in the process. All in the name of freedom and liberation, like its been since the notion of owning property first started thousands of years ago.

just as concerned as they are when we have planes flown into buildings. and thousands die.

52 so far

Fox news says the building was not big enough to have been required to have sprinklers by RI state law

We could say the same about that Crazy Dictator Bush.....
He is just like Saddam ignoring approx the same amounts of
agreements, resolutions, etc, etc.......

DynaMite :2 cents:

Thats crazy this happened, I don't live far from there.

Give it a rest - there's a time and place for everything....

You can cry about Bush and the war on one of many other threads.....

the question I have is why were any of them there to see great white at all???
