Fire in the nightclub Kiss in south of Brazil
A fire at the nightclub Kiss in Santa Maria, Brazil, has rocked the world in the early hours of Sunday on January 23, 2013. The officials said that the house was filled with hundreds of students, and the fire killed about 233 people. The fire started by an outbreak of a pyrotechnic spectacle of a band that toured throughout the club. According to information from the fire department, security guards at the club had blocked the exit, which intensified the panic that people at the club ran for the doors. The survivors described a frantic rush and violent to the main output, because the house had no emergency exits. The tragedy took place in a region of Brazil where Ms. Rousseff, president of Brazil, spent much of her early political career before rising to national prominence as a top aide to the former president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and running for president herself. Before leaving the meeting in Chile, she appeared distraught, crying in front of reporters as she absorbed details of the blaze.
