Station Nightclub Fire Video (a must see for code enforcement and firefighters)
http://www.all4humor.com/videos/extreme-videos/the-station-nightclu...
This is a serious video about the Station Nightclub fire (happened 5 years ago in West Warwick RI.) It is not humor. Viewer's are advised that this video contains graphic images not suitable for all audiences. The entire video is just over 13 minutes long. May god rest the souls of the 100 lost victims of this fire and their families.
I was leery to post this to the video section but I want people to see the events of the Station Nightclub Fire unfold. This is the tradgic combination of fire code issues and a greedy ownership. 100 people died in this fire. Hundreds were injured. Watch the chaos that follows the fire, and imagine this in your district. This is why we fight for harsh fire codes. This is why code enforcement is so important. You can also visit stationfamlyfund.org for more information. They are holding a benefit concert soon for the victims family fund. Hopefully we all can learn a little from this to make sure it doesn't occur in our towns and cities.
462 people were inside the Station Nightclub. Posted Occupancy 300 Fire extinguishers missing. Poor to no exit signage. Multiple exits share common path of travel. (bottle necking) 4 working exits

This video is THE most chilling example of greed and total disregard for human safety. That club was packed with way more people then code allowed, but obviously the ones letting all those over the limit in the door only saw dollar signs.
I cannot and do not want to imagine what it felt like to be trapped in that building. (One of the victims, a member of the band, was a native of my hometown here in NE Ohio.)
Thank you for posting this video, I believe this should be made mandatory viewing by all public facilities when they have their annual code inspections.
