This was an AVOIDABLE tragedy!
I was involved in an incident similiar to this one (except no one died and everyone got out). A fight broke out on the dance floor and people started running towards to exits, except two emergency exits blocked by tables and chairs. People were climbing, pushing, knocking folks over trying to get out.
I understand that club owners/security guards want to keep the riff raff out and are just trying to make the evening safe and enjoyable, but still they shouldn't keep the club "ON LOCK DOWN" like that.
BTW...what's up with the visibly pregnant lady at the club?
Yeah, I know....different topic.
