- This is my dedication to our fallen Brothers and Sisters from the Station Nightclub fire. I have been there for shows many times and I have a very heavy heart from this horrible incident. I will always remember. Thank you and God Bless.
**Apologies to Charline Fick's family, in case you have viewed this, and following the alphabetical order of the names, thought that she wasn't mentioned. She was accidentally placed a few spots further out of order.
I miss you Mom. Mary Baker. Not a day goes by where I don't think of you. I wish more than anything you were still here. It still pains me 10 years later knowing you're not here and knowing what happened there. This is a horrible nightmare I wish I could wake up from. I pray you'll be there waiting when it's my time. I love you so much &miss you more than anything.
Thank You for the video. It was a beautiful Memorial. Crazy the way you recorded it she showed up at 1:26, which was her bday. 1/26
Michael DeCosta
I'm sorry for your loss.
Michael DeCosta very sorry for your loss 😢
Michael DeCosta I am so sorry for your loss.
Michael DeCosta Sorry to hear about your mom.
Oh darling Michael. Words cannot express. I know you are in your mom's sight every day. I'm sorry you cannot hug her.
Anyone one else seeing this video in 2020? I am here February 20, 2020 the 17th anniversary. RIP all who died...
this is so sad 100 deaths that could have been avoided 100 people who lives where cut to short whats even more sad is that everyone who died was mostly under 50 years old just so sad places should all have sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers and all exits opened and working and a staff thats willing to help everyone out why did the band not yell out that the fire is real why did the bouncer not warn anyone also or any of the staff 😭
Yes I watch this about once a year. It keeps me humble and reminds me why I went into nursing. I think about the families a lot and pray that they have found some sort of peace.
It is February 20 2021 today. 18 years later. Still grieving these souls
Same, Mark. Not on the same date, but thinking a lot about the victims lately. Not sure why...
August 2021
Became a fire inspector in 2009. Made a club manager remove unapproved draperies in a night club during a busy Saturday night, while I watched, took the bouncers bout an hour to do it. The owner wanted to kill me. All because of this tragedy. Maybe I saved a few lives? We'll never know. RIP Station fire victims.
Fuck the owner, it sounds like he doesn't care about people and only wants to take money from them.
Well said x
God bless you Barry. My mother always told me never take a short cut, it’s never what you expect. Hold line sir, you’ll be respected for eternity for the lives saved you never knew you saved
Wow. Barely six years after a horrible tragedy involving club owners murdering 100 people, all the present-day owner could think about is how you were inconveniencing him. Not a care that he was endangering lives.
Double fuck that guy, and you are a hero.
@Judith Senning that have would not safe many lives. they would have paniked at this entrance too and it was in under 1 minute under fire.
I, personally have cried and mourned for these people, of whom, are complete strangers to me. I have grieved these tragedy, like I have personally experienced it's horror.
Rest In Peace to all of these beautiful souls, that perished that tragic night. May God wrap his arms around you, and keep you in his light and love, for all of eternity!!!
Me too. I know it's been 16 years now since this tragedy happened. But I've watched this over and over again and each time still brings me to tears. I feel so deeply for these people that had to die so horrifically.
Rebekka Bebee The sounds of the girls screaming really messed me up
Same
7:06 😞 That made me sad that nobody had a photo of him. Only a drawing. ☹️ Anyone else notice that? I can't even fathom the thought of being trapped in a fire and accepting the fact that this is how ur going to die. Imagine what they were thinking. This is what I wud picture Hell to be like. I have watched some pretty disturbing things, but this really got to me. Watching the people bottlenecked, trapped in the doorway screaming for their lives, was heartbreaking. Especially the screaming man on fire trying to put his burning head out. This is a nightmare come true. So sorry for everyone's loss. 🙏
@@mandawalters846 I didn't see the part where the burning man's head was on fire screaming, and I have to say I'm glad. It's heart rinching enough to watch and see the horror of this video and so many lives lost. It truly breaks my heart too. I've watched it over and over, and still every time it makes me cry for them. And we don't even know them.😣😪💔
This was so horrible. To think you were going there to enjoy a night out, watch a band and have a good time like we've all done many times. That blows me away. So tragic.
That’s what gets me the most. These poor people thought they were going out for a night of fun... ;(
I heard about this in the news 15 years ago and thought how tragic it was, but when it's nameless and faceless people, it's easy to forget. Put a names and faces to them, and it really hits home without knowing them. Really really sad. Their memory lives on forever. God bless them and their families.
Blake you are so right. It’s a lot harder when there’s a name and a face to humanize the number of people that tragically perished. I will never forget that night. My best friend worked at Cowesett Inn restaurant directly across from The Station, and she helped set up triage for the injured and attended to people etc... the things that she saw, I can’t even type or think about. What she saw changed her for sure
i used to be a hateful person like some of you are expressing here. i was there i lived thru that , i lost four of my best friends in there and a lot of people i would have wanted to know we shared a love for music.
100 dead , do you think those hundred would want you making such hateful statements i don't think so or the injured that are still with us. i stopped hating that night and started living , i am so grateful to be alive yet i feel so guilty for living. stop hating start living .
❤ bless you
Beautiful sentiment. God bless you and your friends.
I am deeply sorry for your losses and the fact you had to go through that
Who is hating?
Well said the world would be better if people thought before they spoke. Sorry you had to go through this and for your loss
As the daughter of a former Fire Chief/Fire Investigator, my Father always told me that such a tragedy as this, was one he long feared, during his 30 + year career. 3 years ago, I was visiting Rhode Island and felt compelled to make a journey over to the Memorial. It was a very sobering experience for me; even though I didn't know any one of the victims;I felt a deep connection because of who my Father was, and what I grew up learning about such a horrific event.May those who perished Rest in Peace 🕊️, and may precautions be taken so that such a tragic event does not repeat itself.
Derek gray was my friend him and some of his friends lost their lives to me hes a hero because he got out and went back in for his friends r.I.p to all who lost their lives because the club and band didn't take the right precautions
:(
i read a report that say his friend got out and never saw derek again after the fire started, he went towards the main entrance while derek went the other way which you see in the video of the club fire. i don't doubt he didn't get out though and didn't realize his friend had already survived and went back to see if he can find them. if that's the case it's so sad :(
I was able to locate a tape from earlier in that night that shows the crowd.
Would you be able to identify him? I believe he may be in the opening shot (video is on my channel or lookup "Station Night Club Fire All Circulating Video")
If you were not there, you have no idea what kind of horror these people went through. It was the result of the error of the Fire Marshall (number of ppl limits - lack of sprinklers) the Band, the Tour Manager, and Yes the Owners. I was on my way there with my Husband but we decided we were too tired and stayed home. I thank God every day for our lives. My heart breaks for everyone involved.
Jennifer Nickerson tuytg

Jennifer Nickerson My husbands friend was also suppose to be there that night, thankfully he fell asleep early and never made it. It makes you think of what could have been. We went to the memorial site today and after all these years the horror of that night has not faded with time.
Jennifer Nickerson thank god you didn’t go
Not the bands fault
Not the bands fault. They didnt install flammable foam or neglect to install sprinklers or allow too many people. The owners and MORE IMPORTANTLY the fire inspector.
Miss you Karla.
Sorry for your loss.
Suzanne Young Sorry for your loss. She had a sweet smile. Bet she was a lovely person.
Suzanne Young I'm so sorry!
So sorry
I feel bad.
Played this club many times, and I could have very well been there that night. I thank my lucky stars I wasn't. Lost some of my friends in that fire. May all of they're souls rest in peace.
I love you David
I'm so sorry
Thank you for making this beautiful video. I was engaged to Matthew Pickett when he died in the fire. My husband and I run a web site now and I wrote an article about the 10th Anniversary. Links aren't allowed in comments, find the link on our CZcams page. You can also find the article by searching on the article's title, "Honoring the 10 Year Anniversary of The Station Nightclub Fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island" on Google or via the search field on our web site.
Much Love,
Wendy Zangari
Each of them was a total stranger to me but how I would've liked to shake each of their hands and said hello.
Rest In Paradise
These clubs should have a 30 foot wide garage door that can open manually and electric in the event of an emergency. And have it manned While event is in play. Then in the event of fire tons of people can escape very quickly. Just my thoughts.
Yes, and fire proof walls and no pyrotechnics would help too.
I agree two of them even one in front one in back and no pyrotechnics
Fire extinguishers and a sprinkler system aswell.
I used to frequent a restaurant that had an entire wall of windows/doors that could be opened to extend the dining out to the sidewalk and kind of make the indoors merge with the outdoors. Like one entire side of the building could be opened up, eliminating that wall. It was beautiful and I was thinking a design like that could save lives in future builds. It seems like the station was built almost to purposely trap people in a maze with bottlenecked entrances and exits.
I am writing this on the 12th anniversary of the fire. The victims and their families shall never be forgotten
15 years ago today these precious souls lost their lives in one of the worst nightclub fires in U.S. history. Seeing their pictures moves me to tears. Such a sad loss of beautiful people.
Elizabeth Phillips me too. Tragic.
I cant get this tragedy out of my mind. Insane what the victims went through. Beyond comprehension…
I'm seriously considering a trip to Rhode Island to visit Ground Zero to help me put some closure on this that has affected me so deeply..
Agree
@jess Crawford I understand that sentiment..
@@tempebill8183 my buddy did it last year. He said it was haunting.
So many, so young, so beautifu, or so handsome, people enjoying what we all have done at one point in our life, listen to our favorite bands! They all had so much more to experience in life, but because of just a few mistakes, or lack of knowledge, or lack of doing your job, 100 people can be taken from this world and from their families in a matter of less then 5 minutes! Anyone buying a nightclub, or place of entertainment should be made to sit and listen as watch the footage of this, and look everyone of those people's pictures to show you have so many lives in your hands, and if you don't be prepared for keeping people safe, this is what's going to be your legacy, the cause of all the lives it takes! May God bless those families, and RIP to those who parished over stupidity, and lack of!!
It may be a really pathetic gesture, but I'm going to be kind to 100 random people as a way to pay my respects to those who lost their lives.
@@LoveShackSarah88 Awww thank you! I needed that today.
not pathetic at all
Not pathetic at all. Turning pain and suffering into kindness is a great act.
No where near pathetic. Bless you
Inwould guess most people do that on a daily basis.
You’re usually not kind to people. Getting groceries. Walking down the street. Getting food?
thank you for making this video. my aunt was in the fire and after the first anniversary it seems as it everyone has forgotten it happened. you are helping to remind everyone that this happened. thank you for that. it is a great video.
Maybe it’s just to painful
Never will this be forgotten
17 years ago today...will never forget
watching this in August 2021 and it's so terribly sad. this could have happened to any one of us. we've all went to clubs to watch our favorite bands. I'm so sad for their families 💔 🙏🏼
I lost way too many friends that night to find forgiveness for something that never had to happen. I moved away from New England.
My condolences to all the families who has lost a beloved member of the family and my compassion to all the injured people who still suffering today of this tragedy.
It's unbearable to watch this knowing this is doubled with the ghost ship fire in Oakland.
I got fired from a job of 4 years the day of the fire. i was in shock but this news story put things into perspective.
my thoughts are always with the firefighters who have to recover the bodies.
20 years later... It's been 20. whole. years... How time flies quickly.. Rest in peace to all of the victims.
I'm Australian but just happened to be in America for a work conference the week this happened so I remember seeing newspapers on the street over the next few days with this story splashed all over the front pages. Truly tragic and may the victims be remembered and forever rest in peace. My condolences to their families, friends and loved ones.
really sweet video, but one request, if you ever do it again could you use a printing font, some of the names i couldn't get because of the writing and the quality sort of messed it up. otherwise really nice of you to do this.
Yes I too found the names hard to read but hey its pretty trivial in the bigger scheme of things, regards from new Zealand
R.I.P you are not suffering anymore ♥
17 years today and it still rips your heart out We will never forget you 😔
Tracy King is a hero he was a bouncer at the club
Several survivors said he was saving as many people as he could before he died
I remember the morning this hit the news. I am as saddened now as I was then. I've been to the Memorial Park in Warwick and it is beautiful and perfect. I hope these people are never forgotten. \m/
Just got back from the new memorial that they opened May 2017... Such a beautiful dedication to these folks that lost their lives.... I was supposed to go to this show that night but with band practice on Wed. and Fri. nights I was asked to hang home that Thurs... I count my lucky stars that I respected the request to stay home...
I am glad that they were able to build the memorial and not have the space turned into a parking lot or have a big box store built there.
@@stevep8445 Right!!!
I absolutely cant imagine losing my loved one this way! My heart goes out to all the Victims and their family members,Some of you whom I knew.R.I.P. For Eternity
Keith Lapierre was one of the regulars at my gym in Worcester. He would come in with a few guys he worked with . I liked him, he was always upbeat and although i was in my 40s and he was only like 25 or so, his joking always challenged me during my workout, and at times i needed that. We need more like you Keith, ...thinking of you brother.
Thanks for this. It was nice to see the faces as more than just a number.
May we NEVER forget. Thank you for making and sharing this touching, moving tribute.
Thank you for posting. RIP our brothers and sisters. I'm from Rhode Island too. So sad.
To see their faces makes you realize they were here . Now all they really are is dust in the wind . Their moment of suffering long gone . May they forever rest in peace .
what kind of a person thumbs down something like this?
Music sucks
@@crystalandis2185 You suck
Maybe due to the font used. Many of the names are illegible. Terrible font.
Good God, so sad. These 100 are hopefully sitting front row in rock n roll heaven to Hendrix, Morrison, Petty, Bowie, etc etc. they deserve to be. RIP
Rock singers don't go to heaven stupid 🍉 flashing devil horns really
If they no Jesus,no free passes
This is a very sweet sentiment.
@@crystalandis2185 shut your mouth before I shut it for you punk
You beautiful Souls! You Beautiful People.....I listen to you! I remember....
18 years.. God Bless these beautiful people who tragically passed away in this fire. I live in Pa, and woke up at 5 put on the TV and saw this fire coming live from Rhode Island. And people that lost there friends, husband's wife's girlfriends boyfriends, to this day, I think about all these beautiful souls who are in heaven.
Prayers to the families for comfort and closure..,
And also for the injured ...
Please live your life, one moment at a time don't worry and please don't be hateful...
You will always be in my prayers...
strange, as soon as i played this video it started raining outside.
Thanks for posting this video, makes the tragedy really hit home....R.I.P
Who would've ever thought that just one minute into showtime, these people would lose their lives in a fire?
All of them with big smiles on their faces. Just horrible. Poor poor people.
Thank you for making this!!
I remember seeing this on the new's my heart broke for the everyone!! So sad!!!
Now there memory will live on in everyone's heart around thw world!!
God Bless You!!
Cherri
I'm half way through a master's program in Fire Protection Engineering. This has become a major case study for those of us studying how to prevent this very thing. It's senseless for any of these people to have died much less 100 of them. Hopefully we will continue to learn and help prevent this from happening again.
I can't even imagine what everyone in attendance went through that tragic night, as it never should have happened. My heart and prayers not only go out to all the families who had loved ones perish that night, but also to the survivors who will no doubt always have those horrific and nightmarish memories to live with. A very touching and heartfelt memorial video, which brings tears every time I watch it. To all the beautiful souls who perished that night, may you all R.I.P.
They went through hell izzz what they did
Miss my friend and softball teammate micheal G. A. K. A. Dah DOCTOR. SADLY MISSED BUT NEVER Forgotten.
Al Labonte isn't his name Michael?
That was a lot of lives taken in 6 minutes. Not to mention the permanent scaring, both physical and mental. I don't know if the fire marshall or inspectors were ever brought to justice, but they should have been -- they knew about the building's risk to fire, and they swept it under the carpet like free-loaders -- just sign the papers and go home to their families with a big paycheck. Well, now they can see what their lack of expertise, professionalism and down right laziness has done. Also the owner of that bar should have never over-packed the place, in which they did with reckless abandon. I wonder if that dumb-ass bouncer that wouldn't let people out the backstage emergency exit door lived ? He basically killed people too. When I heard about it on the news that time, I didn't realize that there was so much carnage, and I just have to give my condolences to all the families who lost someone, and most of all, the survivors whom have to live with permanent health problems and painful memories of that fateful night.
That piece of shit, scumbag bouncer made it out alive, but his wife died in the fire! He probably wouldn't let her out that fire exit either!
I hope that bouncer HASNT been able to sleep a single night in 18 years. For real. I heard stories about him turning many people away and I always thought to myself “why didn’t someone just knock him out?!” He is TRULLY an evil heartless POS
Miss you so much Miss Lisa hope you rest in peace
Send this CZcams video to my dad
You think you're going to a concert to think you are going to have a great time. Not knowing it would be your last concert. Be vigilant in everything you do. You just never know what can happen. God Bless these 100 people who perished . R.I.P. 🙏❤
Hard to see these pictures and think about what horrible pain and fear these people went through. Many of them surly knew they were gonna die and had to suffer through it until the end. RIP to all 😢
Thanks for making this video. Ten years ago today, though it seems like it happened just yesterday. :-(
Just heartbreaking. 😪💔 I went to clubs all the time and never paid attention to any safety issues, unless there was a fight, then I'd get out of the way. So sad for the victims and their families.
RIP to the 100 people that died that night. There is a vid that shows everyone partying before Great White took the stage. Now to see their faces on this memorial vid is just sad. Atleast they are in a better place now.
Thank you everyone for the kind words. Please try to make any donation possible to the family fund. I am friends with some who survived that night, and they will need medical assistance for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for sharing this with me!! I remember this from the news,so sad Clark!!!
That building was under another name when I went there. I didn’t stay long because I knew it was a disaster waiting to happen. Doors all chained closed on the inside.
Such a perfect video. Moon, i miss you bro! sleep well.
To the mancini family, my prayers will always be with you. As well as with all the other families/survivors.
R.I.P. The Victims of a night club that did not care about the Safety of others. Many if not all presous lives would have been saved if the proper fire sprinklers had been installed. I hold that club 100% liable for the hundreds of deaths involved in this horrible tragedy.
This is great, The video of the fire is one of the most chilling videos I have ever seen
this is really sad... I even cried, thinking this could be my mother, or my mother, imagine the families... R.I.P.
RAVAGEchicken Well it wasn't so chill the fuck out.
handicapper911 lol guys please fist my like an ape till I shit plastic ;)
RAVAGEchicken da fuck I just said... Still sad
The comments on this post made me sick. No empathy and no heart.
Just a bunch of punk ass pussies sitting behind a screen.
I'm in my 40's. I've always known about this tragedy. I've seen video clips and watched some of the news stories. I'm also an avid concert goer. Here 19yrs later I'm seeing the faces and names for the first time. It really hits home. RIP to all these souls 🙏
The voice of the women asking where her husband is will stay with me forever. Is her face here. I think of her and what I would have done and the love and protection I feel for my husband.
The woman who said "where's my husband?" is thought to be Andrea Mancini, the girl taking tickets at the door that night but it has not been 100% confirmed. Andrea, her husband Steve and their cousin Keith perished in the fire.
@@chrisa.515 oh my god. Poor Andrea. What horror. Poor poor people. So horrible. 😢😢😢
Thank you so much for posting. Jeff seems like he was a fun guy to be around.
I went to see Motley Crue farewell tour in Reno 2014 and every time the Pyro's would get too close to the ceiling, all I could think about was this tragedy. I couldn't let it go. there's two entrances to get out, and I thought of all these people needed to run out of here at one moment it would be the same situation .we left before the encore.
Twenty years ago today. Rest in peace from England.
I know its fucked up but i cant help but see these people and wonder if any of them were the ones screaming "help us!" In the video tape where they guy with the camera runs to the back and you hear screaming
Still remember when the news broke on this! I watched every minute and was saddened beyond the ability to express. Great tribute. In God's mercy I want to believe!
NEVER FORGET.
I have not forgotten nor will I ever. I’m from this town and I knew some who perished. I remember where I was when this was broadcasted on TV. Should never had happened.
Thanks Paul, you've been there since the beginning. Thanks for all of your support.
This made me cry. Rest in peace to the people who died.
This upsets me greatly. Why are people so concerned about getting on the phone, or I'm bleeding. When all these people are bunched at the exit being burned alive? I hate this world..............
i think this world might be a prison. more and more people are waking up to the realization that we might be living on a flat plane under a very high and impenetrable dome. the Bible says it is appointed us all once to die and after that the judgment. are we in a prison? is our death an execution? i don't know, but in this model terrible things like children getting cancer makes more 'sense'. if we are in a prison then we are under prison rules. bad things happen in prisons. even Jesus was humiliated and murdered here and He was the only son of God! but all of this does beg the question, if we are in a prison did we do something to be sent here? were we on the wrong side of a war in Heaven? i'm not sure but that would not surprise me. at the tower of babel all of humanity gathered together and it appears they were trying to break out (of the dome?) and bring war to Heaven. the Bible suggests that if God had not stopped them, they would have been successful. that's pretty incredible. really the only thing we can do in this life is to treat each other with kindness and get our lives right with God, because we will stand before God and Jesus at The Great White Throne Judgment, and it will be sooner than we think. this life is very short. over in the twinkling of an eye
It breaks my heart that the people up against the stage never had a chance ,and they burned ALIVE ! The thought of that makes me cringe.
After the fire was put out,the location of the Victims was horrifying ! 40 were found on top of each other milliseconds from the front door ! 40 !!! Kitchen,bathroom.it just sickens me.
This is why I NEVER go to concerts,PERIOD ! Rest In Peace All 100 Angels.
Rip gone not forgotten. This video makes me think about life. Tell your loved ones you love them.
So sad... I was ready to go to the show that night with my new wife. But we couldn't get a babysitter for my 1 and 2 yr old. 💔
Miss you all!!!! Especially Scott Griffin from the OC CA USA
i was going to this show waiting to buy tix but found out they were playing hampton beach couple of nights before and went to that show instead i feel lucky in a way but always feel so sad for all those that died and were affected for life by this tragedy god bless them and their families jimmy d 12-5-20
I read that the guitar player who died ran back in to get his guitar and a waitress who died ran back in to get her purse. That's really sad that people value earthly possessions so much that they literally ran into a burning building covered in smoke after being lucky enough to make it out alive the first time.
I don't think they realized the poisonous gas. They were also in a state of shock.
@@tjp2109 regardless the place was on fire. We're told as kids just get out don't worry about anything else. Very sad
Damn these were just regular blokes looking for a good time
I just started reading killer show. I can't put it down. so very sad what happened to these ppl because of the idiot club owners. rest in peace.
Meagan Hanson Rayford- Agreed. I recently finished the book and it was very disturbing. It was hard for me to sleep at night. Especially after seeing this video and being able to put a face to some of the victims. Very haunting.
Meagan's Makeup I agree. Just started it. It reads as well as ‘The Perfect Storm’. Great narrative even though you know the ending
I hope they are all in peace.
This is an amazing video you have done!! I've seen this before,just thought I would leave another comment & stars!!!
I remember.
me to
God I hope you got everybody. Tragic.
I will always remember.
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece Paul.
Peace~~~Rod
I will NEVER forget what happened... :(
Thank you Shelly, and I love and admire what you are trying to accomplish.
Thank you. If it was during the weekend instead of Thursday, I would have been there also. The chilling part is, whenever I was there for a show, I made sure I was in front to be close to the speakers.
until this story, I didn't think 2 put safety 1st. Who could have known that the insulation was flammable each and every time people visited this place. It was a tragedy waiting 2 happen, unfortunately. thanx 4 the memorial. I didn't recognize anyone that perished. Fireworks should only be used outside businesses rather than inside. This was the match that started this tragedy.
While my focus has been on the Bradford football fire in 1985 I am now more aware of this tragedy
Makes it sadder because given the age group of the audience alot of these people probably had young to teenage kids.
This is heartbreaking!! This could have happen to any of us think of tall the concerts I have been lucky enough to attend. I feel for the families and loved one of all of the victims. .
you never know how right you are and it dont have to be pyrotechnics it can be getting trampled to death or falling over the barrier to the floor down alot of tradgedy has happened in concerts not trying to mentally scare you from rock concerts just telling the truth plus crazy fans rioting its a war zone out there sometimes where anything and everything can happen
I also remember that night my brothers birthday was the 20th of February and my wife and I were at a bar with my family and friends. Remembered getting home that night and turning on the tv to see that this tragic event took place. That night my wife and I stayed up as long as we could watching the news.
Font needs to be easier to read!!
Thanks for this video. Seeing who all of the people were for some reason made this less horrible to me. It's such a sad tragic thing that happened. It changed the way I look at a lot of things in life. RIP to those who perished.
