In Brazil, four people have been detained for questioning in connection with the massive fire that killed 231 people at a nightclub in Santa Maria. The blaze was set off by the pyrotechnics of a band performing on stage. The death toll was likely higher because the club only had one exit. The venue’s owners and two members of the band are in custody. Thousands of mourners gathered at a vigil for the fire victims Monday night.
José Luiz Fagundes: “I believe that it’s not just me, but everyone in this world who has a heart has been affected (by the fire), anyone who has family, who has a friend. We are all moved, and not just us. I have nothing else to say.”
