I don't think anyone in R.I., Boston, CT will forget this. My job was directly related to this tragedy and I had to investigate and compile information. I don't know if they've done anything with the site by now but I sure hope so. Even if family members came together to have something put there, something should have been done by now. It's also unfortunate there are people who are capatilziing on this story. Although YouTube took down the vids they had from the news station, I've been able to find the actual footage on a site meant to make fun of tragedies. Nothing funny about this, but its where the information is. Eight years later and still its shocking and sad. I don’t think anyone in R.I., Boston, CT will forget this.

We all saw what happened, I doubt a fire marshall was to blame. My heart goes out to all involved, but i truly believe if it was not for the film people would not be so involved in giving their opinions on the matter.

Tell that to those who died, then tell those who are blind, have their skin gone and disfigured for life. And then tell all the people who lost their sons, daughters,husbands, wives, mothers, fathers....and so on. Truth is that nothing will ever change what happened and we who lost our loved ones will never heal from that friggin night of hell. Going to the hospital and waiting to hear the name of a loved one being called and fearing that their name was called, not knowing what to expect. When you end a post about this night saying, "which is good", you have to think about all those reading.

Before the show Great White's pyrotechnician refused to set off the pyro because he said it wasn't safe, the manager then fired the pyro tech, and decided he'd set off the pyro himself, th club owner also lied to the band saying that the club was made to withstand pyro which it obviously was not. So it's the managers fault for setting it off when the pyro tech said no, and it's the clubs fault for lying about reglatuons. However the band may be at fault somehow but all the footage I've seen of the band that night, theywere clueless about what had heppened and didn't know about the incident between the manager and pyro tech.

I had seen the very first part of the video previously but the unimaginable speed of the events along with the later images of the people packed in the doorway and their desperate screams were new to me and are very profound.

At about 1:20 before the cameraman even got out the door, if look to the left, or hold a piece of paper up on the right side of your screen, you will see a guy in a black zip up jacket. His arm bursts into flame and the girl to the right, her hair catches on fire. There is more to this than meets the eye, and more to the story than what they want us to believe. Another poster form the RH area said the ENITRE building had some sort of roofing tar substance on it with reflective speckles for the blacklights. This is utter bullshit. There is only ONE party responsible for this: THE STATE for allowing this to happen. Try building a shed on your property and see what happens if you dont have a permit.

I really share as lot of your feelings. As for a memorial, do believe, that once the settlement is finally paid out, many of the families involved will get together and obtain that site and build a suitable memorial park, and they will contribute to its creation and have the final say in getting the memorial the departed loved ones deserve. Daniel Biechele stands out as an upright, decent citizen in all this, and I really wish him the best in his own struggles. Mike Catfish — your comments are right on the mark.
