That is exactly what I thought as well but all articles I have read this morning said this year will be the last one now. |

That's a really good thing that they told the DJ's to keep playing, cause if they were gonna stop the music and say 18 people got killed on the PA then there will be another mass panic. Imagine cutting off the music prematurely with 1.4 million people around. |
Exactly. There was a death at a Hullabullo a long time ago, and I believe they were going to stop the music, however, someone jumped in and told them not to b/c it would cause a mass panic. |

I was at the Guv in 2001, I think, when somebody upstairs shot and killed bouncer, but they didn't stopped playing music.
I found out about this next day in the news. |

that was in the orange room (hip hop) in 2000. I was in that room. We stopped the music in there. The rest of the club kept going for obvious reasons. |

You're facts are a little off...
| quote: | Howard Gairy ,The father of 2 and a doorman at the Guvernment Night Club a former employee of the Alliance Entertainment was shot and killed on Aug 13,2002 shortly after 2am.
The man accused of his murder was under a court order not to have a hand gun. The gun to this day still remains missing either dropped and picked up or passesd off by the accused killer who was held by Derrick Ling,Blake Mitchell,Gold Kang and other security staff for police.
At the time of the shooting it is estimated there was about 400 people in the immediate area,There were 3 shots fired and police are still actively looking for the gun. Witnesses in the Orange Room described the scene of pandemonium in the moments after gunfire erupted in the packed and noisy Orange Room,one of the three lounges within the club.
I heard 3 shots and everybody started running...Said Eric Hammond an Orange room regular,The bouncers were herding people out.People were all over the place.
Everybody just started piling out added Ross Hodgson ,in town from Kitchener, People were pushing us from behind,Girls were crying. The shots were very distinct,Then three seconds later there was mass hysteria said Micheal Dorbyk,
The victim's cousin Conroy Gairy was among family members who met with homicide detectives at the morgue. It's a very tough,he recalled "It's way too close to home" |
I was there that night as well...
RIP Howard...
And RIP to the people in Germany...
An absolute tragedy... |
