– A march dedicated to the victims of the fire occurred Friday night in Bucharest at ‘Colectiv’ club is to be organized through the Facebook platform to Sunday from 14.00h, from the University Square.
– Ten of the injured in the fire in the club are hospitalized at the Hospital for Burns and are in critical condition, with burns on their body, but also with ‘extreme cephalic burns and development of burns on the respiratory tract’, the prognosis for their lives being very reserved, Mediafax informs. However, six of the 24 patients admitted to the University Hospital in Bucharest are in serious condition, said the manager of the medical unit, Catalin Carstoiu, adding that one person has performed well, but remained to intensive care.
– “We found my way out because I was right next to the door,” a witness said in a Facebook post. “I looked back and saw a great bunch of people fallen over each other in front of the door,” she added. “I realized immediately that those in the back of the bar will never get out of there alive,” said the survivor for gandul.info.
– The singer of the ‘Goodbye to Gravity’ rock band only had time to do a short joke: “That was not in the program.” The next moment he realized that it’s no joke and asked for a fire extinguisher, but it was too late. In 30 seconds, without exaggeration, the fire spread across the ceiling. The people rushed to the exit, but the exit was too narrow and people panicked, another witness said.
– Somebody kept shouting: “Take first the ones on the top”, but panic was too high. Many tried to help others, but it was chaotic. Friends were sought for each other underneath the pile of people by touching the bodies, calling them by name, asking ‘Is that you? Where are you, I don’t you see? Is this your hand?’ and so on It was a nightmare,” says another witness.
– According to another witness, the fire-fighters arrived about 20 minutes after the ignition of the conflagration, but the fire was already extinguished, all the fire burst lasting about five minutes. He said that fire-fighters’ cars anyway could not have intervened, because between the club and the street there are two passages and an interior courtyard and fire-fighters entered the club with hand extinguishers.
– the representative of the company that carried out the antiphonary operation at the Club says that local patrons have refused to buy fireproof materials because it was ‘too expensive’, he claimed that such work is normally done ‘on the basis of a project drawn up by fire-fighters, by the architect’, which did not exist, digi24.ro informs.
