KOCANI, North Macedonia (AP) — After North Macedonia’s deadliest tragedy in recent memory, with dozens dying in a nightclub inferno, the Balkan nation is struggling to grapple with so many young lives lost while trying to hold those responsible to account and prevent another calamity.

The fire tore through the overcrowded nightclub early Sunday in the eastern town of Kocani leaving 59 people dead and 155 injured from burns, smoke inhalation and being trampled in the panicked escape toward the building’s single exit.

Tragic. Reminds me of a similar incident in Rhode Island, in 2003.

100 dead, 230 injured. Pyrotechnics were also the culprit.

Nightclub fire in my hometown killed 48 in the early 80s. This stuff shouldnt be happening today with modern fire safety.
