2003 Rhode Island Nightclub Fire
A Rhode Island nightclub, The Station, was hosting a show by the band Great White when pyrotechnics set off by the tour manager wound up setting fire to highly flammable foam sound insulation in the walls. The fire quickly engulfed the walls and ceiling of the nightclub and claimed the lives of 100 people. In the photograph above, you can see the guitarist take notice of the flames before many others.
