I was up late last night and came across live coverage from Fox News. Anyway, they were interviewing the stage manager who says that the club never approved those pyrotechnic effects...those were too much for such a small enclosed space. Also the fire marshall (or someone) confirmed that Great White had never filed a permit for pyrotechnics. The place was up to code. People on the news this morning were trying to make the club sound horrible b/c there was no sprinkler system but again the fire marshall said that the place was not required to have such a system b/c of its small size.
The place was not at max capacity and all four exits were available. On a separate interview this morning someone who was actually there said that within 3 minutes all of the lights went out and the place was completely filled with smoke. So it makes sense why people became trapped. Imagine being disoriented, frightened, inhaling smoke and trying to fight 300 or so people to an exit. It's really awful to think about.....
