(June 27)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] The company that sold the foam blamed for fueling a nightclub fire in Rhode Island has agreed to pay more than six million dollars to settle lawsuits from both survivors and victims’ relatives. The agreement by American Foam Corporation brings the total settlements connected to the fire to more than 150 million dollars. It was February 2003, when this massive fire started at ‘The Station’ nightclub in Warwick Rhode Island during a performance by the band Great White. Pyrotechnics –set off by the band — set the foam on fire, and the flames quickly spread. 100 people died in the blaze — more than 200 were injured.Club owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter charges. Michael Derderian will be free on parole next year from his four-year prison sentence. Jeffrey Derderian received a suspended sentence. They claim they never knew that the foam — which experts say burns like gasoline — was flammable. This foam settlement is not final and no money has been paid to the victims. The offer requires the approval of all of the plaintiffs in the case — as

    I’ve never understood why Great White was with Pyro is a small club from the beginning? I heard that in fact not even a real Pyro configuration, but a kind of low budget platform purchased together in the camp, fireworks, but I think this is just a rumor his könnte.Jedenfalls saw the video, not like to me like they should have been using Pyro all here.

    Questions and Michael “Jefree” why he painted the ceiling of his association with tar and buy the cheapest on the market, the foam insulation.

    The problem was that the club had exit doors, but all were to cover up so that all people who were there tried to tip, which came 1 door in all of them and got stuck – Another problem is that the club more capacity of 100 people and has more than 100 people died —– terrible tragedy and very sad — my prayers are always with families around the world continues

  14. pantzershot on March 26, 2010 at 2:37 pm

    Yes, they were, but people were not thinking clearly, because they were afraid of being drunk, that does not help at all

  15. pantzershot on March 26, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    I do not care who you think, but you, but Michael and Jefree “great men are, and I’m proud that Michael’s nephew. Do not make accusations, how stupid, if not know what they’re talking about you.

    The foam was not until the fire code. The foam, which is supposed to put into it much more expensive and fire retardent, as against the cheaper stuff has been installed, you will see clearly the spread of fire to the club in seconds can. The company foam should not have to LTHE debt, the contractor should have had more of it.
