Deadly Nightclub Fire - I don't watch TV news, so I end up catching this local story on Yahoo's national feed. Yahoo! News - R.I. Nightclub Fire Kills at Least 60

At least 60... holy cow. It appears that the club had no permit for the pyrotechnics that started the blaze, though they had passed a recent fire inspection. No sprinklers were mandated because of the club's small size. Obviously, the small size of the club during the fire did not save at least 60 people.
