It looks like there's been another club fire, this time in Rhode Island. This one was caused by pyrotechnics during a concert. The deaths weren't because of poor exits though, unlike Chicago, but because of the speed that the fire spread. Anyone from the 80's remember Great White? Looks like the guitarist didn't make it out:

Kinda scary to think about, but I think (and I'm being serious here, not funny) next time I'm going to a club, I'm going to make sure before hand that I know if it's up-to-date with it's saftey and fire codes and that they'll be no pyrotechnics.
Edit: Seesh, in just the last hour, the estimate went from 10 confirmed dead to 39, with other's still missing. This is awful. Such a shame. I really hope this is just a tragic accident and not another case of greed causing these deaths.
