Full title of article: Nine clubbers are killed and another 13 are still missing after massive fire breaks out on the second floor of a 100-person rave inside an Oakland warehouse

At least nine people died in a massive fire that destroyed a northern California warehouse during a party early Saturday morning, officials said.

Full count of those who died not finalized.

Holy smoke, that was complete coverage, the Bay Area has nothing to compare, incompetent amateurs.

I’m pretty certain there won’t be any Trump supporters at any Oakland rave party.

I had a friend drag me to some “special” clubs in Chicago about ten years ago. Converted industrial properties, poor exits, bad lighting, no exit signs, no sprinklers in some cases, stuff pilled up that was probably in the way — in other words, a fire marshall’s nightmare.

I guess since I understand the building codes and spent my life in construction, I understand this stuff at a glance and know — duh, this place is too dangerous to occupy.

The pics make me believe that they were not Trump voters———if they voted at all.

This is so sad! I hope the actual count does not rise. Very distressing after seeing the pics of the young people.

About what I expected from a rave.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Many of these clubs have emergency exits chained shut to keep patrons from letting friends in without paying the cover charge. That was the case with the Happyland club fire, and I think the Orlando shooting.

No thanks, being in crowded places like that gives e the willies.

When I clicked on the link I thought it might be in England. “Clubbers” is not an American term.

Then I saw “Northern California” and I thought “It must be Oakland.”

Then I saw “Fruitvale”, and I thought “It must be the Satya Yuga space”.

It appears that it was. It is two doors down from the “Boost Mobile” store you can see in the pictures.

I first heard of it about two years ago from a flyer at Lake Merrit, advertising a rave. At that time I was not aware of its presence in the area.

I looked up the people running it. They seemed dodgy. I drove by the space. It seemed dodgy.

A review from 2015 by someone with an ax to grind who turned out to be prescient:

Overall

DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE.

Additionally, the place is an absolute deathtrap - one incident, and anybody unfortunate enough to be inside will be trapped in a mountain of trash and improvised construction.

I'm thinking you'd have to be tuned up to spend a night in a public place listening to this.

Gee...wonder why?

No thanks, being in crowded places like that gives e the willies.

I got caught in a crush of people leaving the Pontiac Silverdome many years ago after a Lions game. Very unnerving...

Good Find!!!!!
