At Least 233 People Killed In Night Club Fire

01/28/2013
. (Classic Rock) At least 233 people have died in a club fire and 100 others have been injured in Brazil after a band's pyros set the building alight.

One member of Gurizada Fandangueira was also killed in the tragedy at the Kiss Club in Santa Maria. Two members of the evening's support act are missing.

The news comes soon before of the tenth anniversary of the Station Night Club fire in which Great White guitarist Ty Longley and 99 fans died after pyros went out of control.

Most of the dead in Brazil are thought to have been between 16 and 20 years old. Many lost their lives after being crushed as clubbers tried to escape through the venue's single exit. It's thought over 50 died in the toilets after mistaking them for an exit. more on this story
