Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version  

(West Warwick, Rhode Island-AP) -- It was one year ago today that hundreds of rock fans headed to The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, for what they thought would be a fun night of music and socializing.

It turned instead into a tragedy of staggering proportions.

Pyrotechnics used by the band Great White started a fast-moving blaze that would leave 100 people dead and some 200 others injured.

Tonight, survivors and relatives of victims will return to the site of the nation's fourth-deadliest nightclub fire for a memorial service, which will include 100 seconds of silence in honor of each victim.

At a memorial service in Cranston last night, bells tolled 100 times and speakers delivered messages of hope and transformation.

Many who attended brought photos of their lost loved ones or wore T-shirts adorned with their pictures.

Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri said the fire brought to the

state a wave of sadness and disbelief that will always remain.
