Oh goodness. That is terrible. Do you know if they have found Ty or his body yet? I know he is not any more important than any one else who died.. just curious.

I read the article linked to AND the article linked at the bottom about the aftermath of the Chicago stampede, and they are two different situations. The Chicago club owner is absolutely at fault and had repeated violations that could have saved lives in that situation if he had complied. And although I think the club ownership or manager will be held responsible for loss of life in RI..it was not because of anything he did against the codes or laws, it was a really BAD decision on a one time basis.

No word on Ty, yet.

They're saying the band didn't notify the club that they were using pyrotechnics.

Interesting that the article quoted a band member as saying they asked..

still, it is horrible, the death toll keeps rising.

I'm getting the feeling that these sorts of things are greatly exaggerated by current vague Code-Orange-related terrorism fears.

Do you remember the Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street"?

No, for some strange reason, I've never sen many episodes of that show.

I'm very glad he is okay.

300 person capacity is not big enough to require sprinklers?

i dunno what the fire rules are.....the building might have been grandfathered....it did not have a pyrotechnic permit.....perhaps the RI fire marshall will be making new rules?......but will they be followed?......i have concerns about RI.......
