____________________________________________

A deadly fire occured in the Colectiv nightclub in Bucharest, Romania on October 30, 2015, killing at least 55 people and wounding more than 140.

 

The fire, the worst such incident in Romania in the last 20 years, occurred during a free concert (with about four hundred people inside attending) performed by the heavy metal band Goodbye to Gravity to celebrate the release of their new album, Mantras of War.

The band's pyrotechnics ignited the club's flammable polyurethane acoustic foam (after the song The Day We Die.....) and the fire expanded very quickly.

 

Three members of the band were killed, too, and the other one was (heavy) injured during this tragic event.

 

Romania's government has declared a three-day national mourning after this tragic event.

Thousands of candles were lit in memory of the victims on the sidewalk in front of the nightclub

 

PS. Strange coincidence: One of the last hits performed by the band Goodbye to Gravity before the deadly fire was...” The Day We Die „
