Massive Club Fire at Great White concert

Saw that. Pretty horrible. Have a friend from there, well from the town where the hospital is.

An accordionist who had been performing onstage with a band when the blaze broke out was among the dead, drummer Eliel de Lima told Globo TV.

The Station Fire Memorial Foundation.

The video with he hand transplant was heartbreaking and would have been regardless of where the guy got burned.

Also inspirational.

Great White's Jack Russell to play first New England show since Station fire

So Great White decided to play a show in North Dakota with zero social distancing and zero masks and needless to say Twitter is dragging them for it...

17 years ago, 100 people died in the Station Nightclub fire after
Great White’s tour manager lit pyrotechnics inside the small club during a show. One of the band’s biggest hits is called “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.”

Do people not remember what happened last time Great White ignored public safety guidelines? https://t.co/aBfayZH1OZ

Great White in 2003: Kill 100 people by bringing too much pyro to a small club.

Great White in 2020: Hold my beer. https://t.co/YV8YyVt8eT

Whoa. I'm genuinely shocked by this.

All the simpering apologies for their reckless pyro antics that got 100 people killed in 2003 feels like a bunch of hot air now. This is beyond irresponsible. Fuck @GreatWhiteRocks.#ClassicRock #GreatWhite #HairMetal https://t.co/nnBMtK8cgZ
