These club/bar fires seem to be happening more frequently. 🔥
Was it Switzerland that had this same type of fire last year? 🧨 🎇 Caused by pyrotechnics catching roofing on fire? 😭 🙏🏼

Oh no! That's terrible.
Sincere condolences to all concerned 🙏😔

Not enough emergency exits not locked .
Will they never learn .
@
Given the intensity of the initial fire coupled with an explosion, it is likely an accelerant was involved. Arson could be a contributing factor . . .

That's a backdraft fire if I've ever seen one.
@
So very bad and sad. ❤ & 🙏's for all.😢😢😢
@
There's a person burning alive at the entry... jeez...
@
Fire is one of the worst ways to go. My deepest DEEPEST CONDOLENCES 🙏😢

This is terrible and reminds me of the Station Nightclub Fire in 2003. It looks like this may have been a rollover fire. Combustible gasses ignited with unburnt fuel such as flammable decorations or decor. That would be consistent with reports of heavy smoke then that terrible blowtorch of fire we saw in the video. I read many of the deceased were found in the bathrooms presumably trying to shelter from the fire.

Good LORD! That looks like an actual massive flame-thrower, coming out from the inside. What was it that CAUSED such a powerful, directed flame? It's a wonder anyone got through that alive... I used to go out dancing to clubs all the time - this could have been any one of us, who ever went out dancing - anywhere.

Sincere condolences to the families of those "lost", those injured, those who owned & worked in the club (IF they - both groups - were totally innocent), the unlucky tourists, etc. How horrific.

R.I.P., to the souls departed due to this. May peace be upon you...

dude wtf. u just see people walking out of the flames...
@
Very sad..prayers to those injured and the families of those who had lost a loved one

"Smoke, Spark and Fire!"
This are a bad combination, specially in confined space like this bar.
@
That is horrible. It brings back memories of the Rhode Island Station Fire in 2003.

That looked like some kind of gas leak, not a normal fire.
