232 confirmed dead ... another 100 being treated in hospitals.
Most casualties came from the toxic smoke that came from the burning of soundproof insulation
in the room where the band was playing. It apparently started when the band members
lit off flares on stage as part of their music number - the ceiling caught on fire.
Not the first time this scenario has happened - it also happened in the past in the USA when bands
have used pyrotechnics inside crowded clubs.
It's pretty much your worst nightmare ... for the entertainment industry.
Prayers for all the families involved.
