Fireworks and Clubs Don't Mix

[Stingray11214]

You know, with all the tragedies that have befallen clubs (Station, Cro-Magnon, Santika (Thailand)), you'd think that some would get the message to keep fireworks out of nightclubs. 101 are confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise.

I'd like to know what it would take before clubs get the message that pyros don't belong in small clubs?

Talk about the stupidity of the whole thing. I hope this jackass was one of the victims. If not, I hope he goes to jail for a long time.

Right before the blast, an artist performing on stage juggled with what was described as cold-flame pyrotechnical maces that he threw high up in the air, law enforcement officials said on Russian state television.

The club's ceiling caught fire and almost immediately spread on to the wooden walls, cutting off exits from the building, the officials said.

The stupidity in the name of "art". Da updated link: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/12/04/russia.nightclub.blast/index.html

I was wondering what "cold-flame pyrotechnical maces" were when I read the Reuters article.

If it's "cold" flame, then what would be the big deal?
