Saturday, in a crowded nightclub, this terrible tragedy happened. Similar tragedies have occurred, as was the case in Rhode Island ten years ago, but this is even more serious. There are still people in hospitals in Porto Alegre with pulmonary intoxication, by vacuuming the smoke.
This city has an important federal university, among others, and many of the boys and girls who were in that club that night, were students. Youth with a life ahead, which makes this event even more tragic. Of all the news that are reported about tragedies every day, this was really unexpected and a shock spread throughout the country and particularly in this state.
Makes us think that we have to take some cares, but life is unpredictable, sudden and sometimes things can change, so we have to appreciate the fact of being here and now.
The place was packed with about 800 young people who just wanted to have fun. The place caught fire, had no emergency exits, in less than five minutes a intoxicating smoke spread throughout the site.
It is incredible that only after things happen, the authorities begin to take preventive measures. Now they are inspecting and closing several nightclubs in major cities of the country.
Here, in the city of Santa Maria, the townhall and fire departments are blaming each other. The owners of the nightclub and musicians who were performing, who shot fireworks that started the fire in the ceiling, are arrested. But the license for both the town hall as firefighters were overdue and the house could not be working, the capacity of the place was for a maximum of 600 people, and a fire extinguisher failed because it had already been fired once by an irresponsible drunken guy for fun and was not replaced! Anyway, there was no inspection done by the city or firefighters.
We can only express our feelings to the families, relatives and friends, and hope they have the strength to carry on, and hope that justice is done.
Heaven is receiving many angels:
