PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Several defendants being sued by relatives of the 100 people killed in a 2003 nightclub fire have tentatively agreed to a $13.5 million settlement.
The settlements, if approved by a judge, would be the first in what the plaintiffs hope will be several agreements with dozens of defendants in the lawsuits stemming from the Feb. 20, 2003, fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick. The fire also injured 200 people.
"It's just the beginning," Michael St. Pierre, one of the attorneys representing nearly 300 fire survivors and victims' relatives who have sued in federal court, said Wednesday.
The fire began when pyrotechnics for the rock band Great White ignited flammable sound-absorbing foam around the stage and the club's walls. The foam quickly spread the blaze throughout the one-story roadhouse.

God. I remember that sad, sad situation. I'm really not sure who exactly should be blamed for it. But I hope the get justice for what happen. Especially the family of " The Doctor" a DJ on WHJY. I use to love to listen to the "Metal Zone." May he and all the others rest in peace.
