So those flames u are see actually the wall catching on fire, not part of the display. Exactly. They were the kind of sparklers that people can stand underneath and not feel a thing, and it took a substance more flammable than gasoline to ignite it. There was no reasonable expectation that anything in a nightclub would have been that flammable. Therefore, the owners, not the tour manager, are primarily responsible. What's even worse is that the tour manager is taking responsibility for his part and pleading guilty, while the owners are pleading not guilty and taking no responsibility. The result: the tour manager goes on trial first and becomes the primary scapegoat. If I believe him and he asked their permission, he shouldn't be going to jail in their place. If I believe the owners that he didn't ask them, they are still primarily responsible because they didn't go out of their way to warn him. A substance more flammable than gasoline on the wall of a nightclub stage is such an unbelievable hazard for so many reasons, that the absence of any warning, even a simple sign that says "Caution: Flammable", is criminally negligent. The lesson of The Station Fire is not to fear pyro. The lesson is to be aware how flammable sound proof foam really is, because a cigarette or match or lighter could ignite the foam and consume a building much more quickly than sparklers.
