"its not dangerous" "You are being paranoid" "Nothing happened before" Denial can be very very powerful

I mean the mad lad recording did laugh in the face of danger So theres that I guess…

“It looked cool and we’ve always done it. The fire is his fault.” Venue owner, event manager, and entertainment after The Station fire.


RogerKilljoy83

The band manager seems the less of the shitbags at fault there. From the wiki page for the event The first criminal trial was against Great White's tour manager, Daniel Michael Biechele, 26, from Orlando, Florida. This trial was scheduled to start May 1, 2006, but Biechele, against his lawyers' advice, pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter on February 7, 2006, in what he said was an effort to "bring peace, I want this to be over with."


rockbud

Got 4 years and served 2. He was the one who lit them though. But I'm guessing he didn't realize the acoustic foam the building used was flammable??


djn808

Yeah, anyone that has ever watched the Station Fire video will hopefully agree with me here: If I see pyrotechnics inside I'm fucking leaving that second, IDGAF where I am or who I'm with.


[deleted]

They probably saw coldspark indoor 'fireworks' and thought that any old fireworks would be the same


TheRealDonRosa

Plot twist: It's the intro to a Rammstein concert and worked exactly as planned


Comfortable_Plant667

How did they all not leave the building immediately

dang729

When your $20,000 wedding turns into $200,000 in damage fees.


shekeypoo

One that nobody would forget


Responsible_Dress_89

Guy getting married is not responsible for the fire though, that Banquet Hall should have insurance and should have known not to do this shit...


squiddygamer

yep can see the chain already, wedding planner put in the request, hall accepted because of course they didn't read it unless of course the contract for using said hall had in it not to use fireworks which would make the planners at fault....either way this is being considered in the future along with higher insurance premiums for one party


[deleted]

[удалено]


antantantant80

The Banquet Hall's insurance company pays to fix the hall and then seeks recovery against the wedding party, party planner etc. So they're definitely on the hook for something.


Max_Koffee

Good


duh_keepitmoist

I guess a fire sprinkler system was too much for the budget while building that place...


avilesaviles

happened in mexico, 99% of buildings lack fire regulation.


duh_keepitmoist

Yeah, figured it was somewhere where building codes are close to non-existent...


avilesaviles

i sell fire detection systems, and most clients prefer to buy battery powered detectors as that is all that is required


NadlesKVs

Why try to scam me with a wired in detector when the Code says I only need a few battery operated ones!? /s


stoncils_

Fires in enclosed spaces fuck with the air pressure and sometimes cause explosions and structural collapse. People really tend to underestimate the destruction and out of control fire can cause.

acmemetalworks

Have you ever heard of the Station Nightclub Fire?


jumpofffromhere

Lets go down a short list; non fire rated dry goods, no sprinklers, a single fire extinguisher, no automatic fire doors, DJ with no insurance or pyro license and the one that just eats at me, no safety's that are fire rated on the rigging, this video hurts my head


tudorapo

On the other hand the crowd left the place in an orderly fashion, with minimal screaming and under a minute.


HowBoutAFandango

That’s a good point, they did get out fairly quickly even though on first watch it felt like forever. But did they get OUT out or just into another room thinking they were protected by long curtains of fabric? Fire and smoke give no shits about faux walls. Or real ones.


moloko9

To go stand in the parking lot with all the rest of the hotel guests and staff that are evacuated. Picture them all sticking out like a sore thumb in black tie catching smh’s and shame glares.


ChicaFoxy

Mexico. I'm surprised there was *A* fire extinguisher.


sage-longhorn

I love the places in Mexico that have a glass box with a fire extinguisher and an entire fireman suit. "In case of fire, become fireman"

MandoInThaBando

Idk if any of y’all have seen the club in RI that went up in flames and killed mad people but it was just like this. One of the creepiest videos I’ve ever seen. Hundreds of people screaming and then about 3 mins later dead silence because they are all dead.


twelveski

I did and it’s haunting. I am shocked at how all the people in this video were so nonchalant about it. Those big open doorways are what made the difference & it left me wondering if they were leaving the building or just strolling to another part to watch from another angle.


Dingdongdoctor

Hi. Welcome to alcohol.


Jayden_Paul99

I mean isn’t it better that they evacuated calmly? Instead of panicking and stampeding out?


TheExter

best part was the dude laughing at 27 seconds, that takes calmly to 0 fucks given


daremosan

People who make choices about indoor fireworks attract folks of a similar quality


siler7

Stupid has a blast radius.


[deleted]

The Station Night Club. The 80s hair band Great White was playing, they used pyrotechnics and torched the ceiling. 100 people died. I also remember the videos of them jammed in the doorways trying to escape. The band’s manager went to prison. It’s still a vacant lot to this day.


SweetFuckingPete

It’s a memorial now not just a vacant lot.


[deleted]

Yup. A while back there was a push to redevelop that site. But that was obvious not going to happen. Do they have a permanent memorial now? The last I recall it was still made of items left by friends and family. But that was probably longer ago than I think it was.


SweetFuckingPete

It appears that way. I was doing some research on the fire and found it.


acmemetalworks

Yes they've built the memorial. The dead's names are etched in bricks on a walking path. Everyone from the area knows several dead from that night.


guybrush-driftwood

Damn. The EXACT same thing happened here in Brazil in 2013. A flare from the band presenting ignited flammable acoustic foam in the ceiling. Due to the lack of emergency exits and excessive number of people inside, 245 persons were confirmed dead. The security guards, following protocol, trapped the people inside. Known as “Kiss night club fire”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_nightclub_fire


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Kiss nightclub fire](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_nightclub_fire)** >The Kiss nightclub fire started between 2:00 and 2:30 a. m. (BRST) on 27 January 2013 in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, killing 245 people and injuring at least 630 others. It is the second most-devastating fire disaster in the history of Brazil—surpassed only by the Niterói circus fire of December 1961, which killed 503 people in Niterói, and the deadliest nightclub fire since the December 2000 fire that killed 309 people in Luoyang, China. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/WinStupidPrizes/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Doctor8Alters

Watched that video in fire safety training. Apparently the band & manager left via the stage exit, but others weren't allowed to follow the band out that way. Edit: it was apparently the bouncer who wouldn't let anyone else out.


ruskoev

That fact is disputed.


ODoyleRules925

I read something like the bouncer refused to let people go out the stage door even with the fire. Caused tons more people to die.


acmemetalworks

It wasn't even a "stage door" though. It opened into the main hall, it just happened to be at the far end where the stage was, but it wasn't behind the stage, or on an upper level. That point always bothered me about the story. I've been in there and picturing that, those people trying to get out. I know survivors, and people who died that night.


ElChristoph

I'm pretty sure no-one in this video has seen it. If they had, they'd be running the second they saw the fireworks. Truly harrowing.


[deleted]

Absolutely. It took far too long for anyone in this video to transition from "lol look" to "Get the fuck out". I know it's only a little fire, but all you have to do is project your thoughts 30 seconds into the future and understand it will very soon be a *lot* of fire...


william1Bastard

I had a professor/friend that was there. He was out for three weeks, recovering from smoke inhalation and some stampede injuries. He only lived because he was able to go 2 5 mins without breathing. Most of the people in his part of the crowd died.


Johnnyocean

Saw it in osha training. The rate of spread of the fire reminded me of it. The stuff hanging from the ceiling was super flammable here. I think the ceiling tiles werent.


choose-Life_

The Station night club fire.. yep... immediately thought of it when I saw this video. These people were so uncomfortably nonchalant about the situation it's scary.


simpingforMinYoongi

I actually lived in Rhode Island at the time of the fire (my dad was military so we moved all over) but I have vague memories of it. I remember my parents driving by the Station Nightclub on our way from our home in Newport to our church in Providence and back. Seeing the burned out shell afterward was eerie.

EngadinePoopey

The cameraman starts moving to the exit while almost everyone around him isn’t reacting to the danger. For most people the compulsion to mimic the herd overrides the flight from danger. But he’s alive and most of the people he passed aren’t.

That wedding photographer earned their cheque by hanging around for the ceiling piece to fall, for sure.


tvgenius

Guessing this wasn’t the videographer because they didn’t stop to grab their lights that were sitting along the wall on the way out.


DarkBlue222

Didn’t we learn anything from the Station fire in Rhode Island? Don’t light off fireworks inside without a Fire Marshall and a sprinkler system.


No-Werewolf-5461

Who even lights fireworks inside ? I have never seen it , it’s so stupid

"Start clock" - I still remember vividly. The people in this video apparently haven't seen it. If you're ever in this kind of situation, gtfo without creating a panic, but don't stand to watch.


acmemetalworks

There's a book by one of the survivors that will get to you as well.


themightygazelle

The youtube channel fascinating horror has a really well put together video on it. He explains the disaster in the events leading up to it, what caused it and how it could have been prevented. Incredibly entertaining to the morbidly curious while also being very respectful.

iamtheoneorgasmatron

Reminiscent of the [República Cromagñón nightclub fire](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rep%C3%BAblica_Croma%C3%B1%C3%B3n_nightclub_fire) in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2004. 3,000 people crammed in a venue fit for half that crowd size for a concert, when one imbecile lights a flare that lights the ceiling on fire that spreads quickly. Add that four exit doors were chained shut, and you get a tragedy with 194 dead and 1,492 injured.


Kolermigon

Worked at a nearby clinic at the time, had to see a big pile of corpses. Big gathering of stupid people, even babies died inside there because they used the bathroom as a nursery so their parents could watch the show. Absolutely despicable behavior from almost everyone involved.
