Both were terrible fires, but the Cocoanut Grove fire resulted in the deaths of 492 people, while in the Station nightclub fire 100 people died. Tragic, regardless.
True, but the Cocoanut Grove set standards to avoid/minimize such tragedies, and greed, as in RI, and liberals that know better than the rest of us, as in Oakland, resulted from the failure to heed the lessons of Cocoanut Grove.
