At least 180 people were injured in the fire at the Colectiv nightclub, according to The Associated Press”. 1 CTIF Extra News October 2015 CTIF starts project to support the increase of safety in entertainment facilities “Information about the large fires always draws a lot of interest. This is especially true in the case when fire cause casualties what is unfortunately happening too often. According to available data, fire at Bucharest nightclub killed at least 27 people while another 180 were injured after pyrotechnic display sparked blaze during the rock concert. The media report that there were 300 to 400 people in the club when a fireworks display around the stage set nearby objects alights. It is difficult to judge what has really happened but as it seems there was a problem with evacuation routes, number of occupants and also people didn’t know whether the flame was a part of the scenario or not. Collected data and testimonials remind us on similar fires and events that happened previously. One of the first that came to the memory is the Station Night Club fire that happened 12 years ago.

  • Garifunas and Happy Land Social Club
    GARIFUNA COALITION UUSAA, Inc. [email protected] www.garifunacoalition.org The Garifunas and Happy Land Social Club Fire By Jose Francisco Avila http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLandingSignin.jsp?Uc=15mh9kz2.53zcninm&Uy=- gu91zv&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfromshare&Ux=0&UV=824562988367_7 77645379306&localeid=en_US As we commemorate the 18 th anniversary of the Happy Land Social Club fire on March 25 th , 1990, we should take time to pause and assess the meaning of over 70 years of struggle and development in this great city, while looking forward to a future brimming with promise and hope. But for most of the past seven decades, Garifunas have not experienced reflection and renewal. Instead, they have witnessed shocking images of a community in crisis. Despite many positive contributions to the social and economic fiber of New York City, Garifunas have remained outsiders with no influence on the important civic processes of New York City. They had been, in a word, “invisible”. Although Garifunas have been migrating to the United States in search of a better life since the 1930s, the community was virtually obscured in New York City until the Happy Land Social Club fire on March 25th, 1990.
