233 people have died and at least 131 more were injured when a fire
set off by a band's pyrotechnics swept through a nightclub in Brazil.
The
tragedy happened at the Kiss Club in the city of Santa Maria. 900
people were said to be inside the club when the fire broke out.
The
fire started around 2am on Sunday morning. It is reported that a member
of the band lifted a lit firework which set fire to the ceiling and
engulfed the room.
The fire set off a panic amongst the people
inside the club, many of whom went further into the club instead of out
thinking they were escaping. Many people died from smoke inhalation,
some were trampled.
The bodies of 120 men and 112 women have been
pulled from the wreckage.
Santa Maria is the home of the Federal
State University of Santa Maria. Many of the people at the club were
students.
The band Gurizada Fandangueira was the act performing
at the club. Gurizada Fandangueira perform at the Kiss Club once a
month.
