Guest brwneydtrouble Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 is it me, or a whole lot of people have died this year?in freak type accidents?Some serious things keep going on...... There's been all kinds of freak things happening lately. We were talking about it at work yesterday. Im no doomsdayer but i really think its happening for a reason. Mother Nature has a way of evening things out and scientists have been saying that the weather has been really strange over the course of the past few years. Coldest recorded winter in 90 years in colorado, off the charts hurricane season here, tsunami in the indian ocean, volcanoes erupting, earthquakes.......the list goes on and on. mp3some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abstractrhythm Posted December 31 Author Report Share Posted December 31 UpdateOWNER HAS VANISHED: Police want to question the club's owner, who vanished during the inferno. The concert crowd was nearly three times the venue's capacity of 1,500 people, Argentine media reported. BAND MEMBERS APPEALED TO FANS: Survivors said band members appealed to fans at one point during the show to refrain from lighting fireworks. DEAD/INJURIES/CRITICAL CONDITION: 175 are dead. At least 714 people were injured, officials said. At least 102 were in critical condition, said Julio Salinas, an official with the Buenos Aires emergency services department. EYE WITNESS ACCOUNTS: "Someone from the crowd tossed a flare and there were immediately flames," said 22-year-old Fabian Zamudeo. "Parts of the roof started falling down in flames and people started running, knocking over the speakers and light stands. People were choking on smoke and I tried to push as many people out as I could." Witnesses described chaotic scenes of people rushing for the doors, their vision blurred by thick smoke that blocked out emergency lighting. A 22-year-old who gave his name only as Andres said surging crowds pushed their way toward the club's six exits but found some of them would not open."Once the fire erupted, everyone ran for the doors, but there was only one very narrow one open at the exit closest to us. Another wider door next to it was locked," he said. ALL NIGHTCLUBS ORDERED TO CLOSE DURING NEW YEARS: The city government declared three days of mourning and ordered all nightclubs closed during the New Year's holiday weekend. Pope John Paul II expressed his condolences to victims' families in a message sent to Argentine church officials.
