Thailand is not the only place that has trouble with crowded nightclub fires. I was sad to hear over a 100 people lost their life in a club fire in Perm, Russia.

Terrible way to die. Completely unnecessary and avoidable.

Another arrest has been made in the tragic Bangkok fire last year on January 1, 2009. At the Santika nightclub, the fire killed 65 people and injured more than 200.

“He said police had arrested Saravuth Ariya, 28, the lead singer of Burn. Mr Saravuth is the sixth person to be charged in connection with the fire. The others – all owners and managers of the club – have been charged with causing death by negligence and admitting under age drinkers.”

Happens in the first world too,; there was about 100 lives lost in Rhode Island a while back.

I think there was also a recent fire in China that killed twenty people or so. This can happen anywhere and is probably a terrible death. Burning alive would be horrific although smoke inhalation probably kills many.
