Russian Night Club goes up in Flames 109 dead and 130 injured.
 

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russian investigators on Saturday picked through the remains of a burned-out nightclub and detained at least five people in the aftermath of an explosive inferno, the result of an alleged misuse of fireworks that claimed more than 100 lives.

Friday night's fire -- in the Ural Mountain area industrial city of Perm -- swept through a party in full swing at the Lame Horse, a local nightclub celebrating its eighth year in business.

The blast and fire engulfed the club, law enforcement officials said, as a performance artist juggled cold-flame pyrotechnical maces. As he threw them high in the air, the club's ceiling caught fire and almost immediately spread on to the wooden walls, cutting off exits.

People succumbed to smoke inhalation or were trampled attempting to escape the panicky chaos.

The latest death reports varied, with one count as high as 109. Around 130 people were injured, authorities said, with dozens were in critical condition and many of them hooked up to artificial lung ventilators.

Crazy shit, then again not to smart lighting fireworks inside a club.

Didn't see it was posted before but still crazy most of the people in the club ended up dead or injured.

I guess that Russian party content will have fire sale pricing soon!

i had like a dozen people ask me to light fires and fireworks in the club I owned... yep, fireworks and drunks inside.... YIKES

Sad to say they had windows open on the roof and it felt like an oven inside, most people couldn't get out, some people's eyes were burned out of their sockets. Crazy shit in general.

And earlier this week, fast train going 200km/h or something like this fell off tracks. Sad stories to hear.

No, of course not. I would imagine it would be against the fire code.

hehe :thumbsup

Lets aim for 150 next time russian club owners that run clubs.. joking of course...
