I was at work at the newspaper that night. The stories coming off the AP wire were a thing to behold.

Who sets off fireworks inside a nightclub?

When I visited Europe in 2001, they had still not learned the lessons from fires in America in the 1930s.

Doors should open OUTWARD. Decorations should not be flammable.

Yeah, I’ve viewed that video on Youtube. I regretted it afterward because it is very disturbing.

Not too long ago I heard Great White’s hit “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”. The song contains the lyrics “ You didn’t know that rock and roll burned, so you bought and candle and you lived and you learned”.
Those lyrics are tragically ironic after the nightclub tragedy.
