You mean people bring in their own flares???

Shouldn't something like that be handled by the people who own the building and know the flare(s) their using ??
Tradition or not, if I was the insurance company for that building I'd be pulling my support pronto...
That's just asking for trouble.
Sure one could argue that this has been going on for years, but you know what? Even one tragic accident is too much.

but thats the thing. The insurance companies there dont act like insurance mafias. Its much more simplified. Either its insured for a set amount or it isnt.


In big stadiums is where these are usually done. I dont think people are usually dumb enough to do it in a small club. I think the real crime here is that the club had padlocked and chained doors.

I'm surprised it's that lax.
This incident will definitely have repercussions.
Like the, "no flares" footnote

Sounds like a clear fire violation (at least here it would be).
If they were worried about people sneaking in, they should have hired more bouncers I guess.
Anyways we look at it, it's hindsight and tragic; hopefully they learned a lesson and made changes.

Thousands were in the streets protesting to get better fire code laws. You see this is what people in other countries do when they want something done. Not to mention this place sounded like a death trap. Wooden floors, low cielings and flares? Much different from the venues i went to when i was there. Pacha, Moonpark (digweed, carl cox parties) and Ku were all huge and had many exits (even though they were packed beyond ridiculous.

I'm surpised that common sense didn't kick in when they (the flares owners) were checked at the door then.
Cool pics btw...

As far as protesting goes, we're just not emotional enough here in Canada to even consider marching for a cause like that.
Maybe a stern letter, endless bitching or just vote in a different government come election time (cause apparently we have the patience to do that) but no mobbing parliment here...

They dont do searches that often. They dont seem to have a problem with violence at clubs there unless its a cumbia de villara club (latin hip hop)
