I would like to send my thoughts out to the families and friends that died in a nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island. It is believed that the pyrotechnics used during the show set the 60-year-old building on fire. The fire spread incredibly quickly and there was a rush towards the exits. Many were trampled, burned or died of smoke inhalation. Unfortunately most people forgot about the 3 fire exits and everyone rushed to the door. As of right now the death toll is at 96 and will probably climb even higher. This hits very close to home for me because I live 10 minutes away from the club. I also knew some of the victims of the fire. Once again I would just like to send my thoughts and prayers out to those hurt by this disaster.:(

I was about to start a flame reply due to my drinking and lack of respect for hair bands, but I see that you are sincere in your sentiment, and I don't want to appear as an inconsiderate rat. So, I tip my beer to them.

Real sad! In Holland we had a fire in a nightclub too at 1 januari 2002. Also many children dead or burned for life. Life's hard :(
