The Station Fire

On February 20 2003 The Station, a nightclub in Rhode Island experienced a tragic fire that claimed the lives of 96 people. The band Great White was on stage playing a set when pyrotechincs ignited the sound proofing material on the walls and rapidly spread throughout the structure. The victims were caught in a fire storm and forced to fight for escape. The responding units reported seeing people crawling over one another to flee the building. The artists of Great White lost a member of their band and suffered injury while escaping, even though an exit door was less than 5 feet from their stage. There are several sites referencing this fire. It is a more recent event that most folks are already familiar with. I cannot find pictures or solid details of the fire other than the fatality numbers.
