    Whoever had the bright idea to ignite pyrotechnics at an indoor venue should be the one held responsible
  • @istanza01
    This Attorney General is so quick to blame the brothers but protects those who should have been charged as well.
  • @MB-zn4xw
    Pyrotechnic fireworks that shoot 15 ft in the air in an INDOOR venue with 12 ft ceilings.. what could go wrong?? 🙄 so sad and senseless
  • @SICresinwrks
    How can that fire Marshall sit there and claim he never saw the foam, thats gotta be the most ridiculous thing ive heard
  • I’m not gonna lie I feel like the fire marshal should’ve probably been charged as well.
  • @sparklight5317
    Former FF here. Despite this tradgedy know that this has had profound impact across the US. Small venues like this went under the microscope and many many are far safer today. You wont hear about the Tennessee bar that the deluge system saved basically everyone or the Utah concert house that the standpipe dry system that was mandated to be installed stopped a fire backstage. We put 80K worth of system into our own local venue and this tragedy was specifically cited why it was required. Know that this loss is saving many many more. That bouncer is still saving lives.
  • @SereneHorror
    Why is so hard for people, on both sides to accept the fact that MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LEVELS ALL FAILED IN THEIR OWN PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE SAFETY OF THE CLUB. It isn't one thing one person did one day that caused this travesty. Many people chose to forgo their duties and many people paid the ultimate price. Very sad..very tragic
  • Isn't it the Fire Marshalls job to shut down fire traps ? Not the club owners they don't know anything about fire dangers ??? Why want he held responsible ??? I bet him and the DA are friends smh
  • @omgbygollywow
    Wow, that guy was a hero. He died saving multiple lives. I would not have the courage to keep going in and pulling people out. God bless that man.
  • Tracy is a true hero. He knew all the exits and could've left to save himself, but that isn't the cloth from which he was cut! He saved others.
  • @Purplenpinkk
    Every time my husband goes to a public place the first thing he does is take note of where the fire exits are. Such a sad story.
  • @Jaydee215
    One of the worst times in our lives. We live less than 30 minutes away from the Station Nightclub and sadly lost 2 cousins in the fire. Lots of lives changed in an instant.
  • @troop311
    This former AG makes me hate lawyers.
  • The former AG set off every alarm bell in my head....something was way wrong with him. Zero trust.
  • @tammykelsey7877
    I live in southern Massachusetts and I CLEARLY remember when this tragedy happened. In my 20s I went to many small “dive” clubs like this one. Since the fire I have never gone to another one.
  • I don't know how on earth they come up with the idea of pyrotechnics inside a small space, crowded, low ceiling building. You didn't have to be genius to realize it could start a fire
  • @simonw1313
    The Attorney General is an utter weasel.
  • @surlygirly1926
    "People are on fire inside." Horrifying - unimaginable.
