100 dead. 230 injured.

Start to finish. All known circulating footage.

One hour and 23 minutes.

YouTube: The Station Nightclub Fire - February 20, 2003 - West Warwick, RI

For those who don't know, this fire was started by pyrotechnics inside the club during the first song of Great White's set.

The camera-mans reaction! His spider-sense kicked in real quick!

Video is not gruesome. But you can hear screams from the dying.

I couldn’t believe what I was watching the next day when the video started rolling in. It was horrific. Has to be one of the most terrifying ways to die. I haven’t seen this in a while. Thanks for posting.

For the record, his lawyer told him not to apologize. It could possibly make him look guilty. He did finally make an apology. 15-years-later...

He's also working on a documentary about that night. It might be out already.

I read a book about this years ago. There’s a darkly funny passage where the singer of Great White shambles out of the darkness and asks a bunch of shell shocked firefighters “…did everyone make it out okay?” and they just stare at him.
