At least 39 people have died in a huge nightclub blaze in the eastern US state of Rhode Island.More than 150 others were injured when the fire broke out during a pyrotechnics display at a rock concert, trapping victims inside.  

This is the second one this week. Such a tragedy.

I\'ve been watching the news since 3 am. and it\'s pretty damn sad. :(

I have to ask though, what moron would allow fireworks in a small club? They keep calling it pyrotechnics but from what I understand it was three of those sparkler cones (fountains) and they produce a lot of heat. They also said the back wall and ceiling near the stage was covered with eggcrate foam. I used to have that stuff in my studio and the non fire resistent (cheaper version) flares up instantly.

And it happened.... "In The Club"

Coincidence that that 50 Cent song is "hot" on the airwaves right now? :eek:
