Valentine's day 1981......Stardust club in Dublin went on fire. Fire exits were chained and windows had steel plates.. 48 people died with over 200 badly injured. At first it was reported as arson with the owners receiving over 500k compensation. This arson is disputed and the families campaign continues. The fire spread really quickly too...due to the building material. similarity and tragic too that fire doors were chained (stardust toilet windows had steel plates....trapping even more victims).
