It’s been nearly 10 years since the deadliest rock concert disaster in US history. The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island went up in flames only minutes after a pyrotechnic display by the heavy-metal band Great White.
The final death toll from the fire was 100 and looking back, one of the big tragedies is that it all could have been avoided. A tangled web of bad decisions and shortcuts along the way led to the tragedy.
John Barylick is an attorney who represented victims in numerous wrongful death and personal injury cases arising from the Station nightclub fire. He has a new book called Killer Show: The Station Nightclub Fire, America’s Deadliest Rock Concert. He joined us from the studios of Rhode Island Public Radio.
