A terrible tragedy -as was the Coconut Grove fire in Boston Nov 1942.
Reminder to us all - always look to make sure you know where the exits are.
In the Coconut Grove fire - there was only one revolving door & people could not go through because everyone panicked and jammed it. Other exits were sealed shut. Barry Welansky, the owner, was corrupt and bought off Boston officials, telling the electrician he hire (who had no license) not to worry about it because he was "in with the Mayor". His taxes had "mysteriously" been cut from $18k to $9k. A fire inspector testified that he'd inspected the club 8 days before and "found everything satisfactory", even though the clubs decorations were highly flammable. 492 people died because of the corruption & greed - the "wink wink" of those hired & elected to protect the public.
