Great White

Great White is one of those bands from
the 80s who had great long hair......they
also may be on the hook for the
deaths of 95 people.
If you haven't heard they played a
gig in W. Warwick RI, used pyrotechnics
that went horribly wrong and as a resuilt
at least 95 are dead.
The band blames the club owners, the club
owners blame the band.
One thing is certain. When you go into
an establishment, always note where the
exits are.
This place had 4 exits, most people
tried to leaave through the entrance
and many didn't make it. Apparently nobody
used the 4th exit.
This is a tradgedy that should not have
happened.
Great White ...Yes!

I live about 20 kilometers from there and someone from my town
(only one I know of so far) died there.
Lead singer still has nice hair but he is badly shaken up.
A guitarist from the band is missing and probably dead.
The DJ is dead.
What a mess

Great White is one of my favorite bands. I really feel bad for them. Definitely, a tragic event.

not only that, but when the fire started many just stood around and watched. always remember: when sh*t starts to go down, its time to leave!

Many stood around becasue they thought it was part of the show.
Some got the idea something was terribly wrong.
BTW, the guitar player Ty Longley is still missing. 96 dead, only

15 have been identified. This tragedy should never have heppened.
The club should have been required to have a sprinkler system.....that way the victims would be wet but alive.
It's a tragedy that never should have happened.
