The Wuwang Club fire was a fire incident that occurred in Shenzhen, Guangdong, People's Republic of China on September 21, 2008. ==Incident== A fire broke out just before midnight on September 21 at the packed "King of the Dancers Club" (S: 舞王俱乐部, P: ''Wǔ Wáng Jùlèbù'') according to an official with the Shenzhen Work Safety Bureau. The fire was started by a floorshow stunt involving pyrotechnics that ignited the ceiling, plunging the club into darkness and causing the club-goers to panic and stampede towards the exits. The windows were boarded up and there was only one exit with a lit exit sign. There were 308 people present in the club. Most of the deaths were caused by the crush of the stampede. Among the casualties were 5 people from Hong Kong, a 40-year-old man who worked in mainland China and four 18-year-olds; the latter group was celebrating a birthday of one of their peers. The nightclub was operating without a building license and was not built according to building codes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wuwang Club fire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
