Some of you no doubt saw this horrific incident in the news yesterday which is the worst nightclub fire in Brazil for over 50 years.

Having the ceiling catch light from an indoor incendiary is possibly the worst nightmare for any clubber.

RIP to those who were not able to escape :(

Saw this sir, it was because the act on the stage set off a flare which was designed for outdoor use only (it was cheaper than the indoor ones), and the flames raced through the ceiling foam. Most died through black smoke inhalation and because there was only 1 exit.

Why is it fashionable abroad to let off fireworks and everything indoors? Only ever seen it outdoors over here.
