Horrible tragedy occurred in Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil on Sunday January 27, 2013. As many as 233 people have been reported dead after a performing band’s pyrotechnics show set the Kiss nightclub on fire. Victims died either from asphyxiation due to inhalation of toxic smoke or from being trampled by the crowd desperate to get out of the nightclub.
This scenario of pyrotechnics setting a nightclub ablaze and the shocked revelers panicking and blocking the exits is all too familiar. The same thing happened at The Station nightclub on Rhode Island where 100 people died as a result. Given the confirmed death count of the Kiss nightclub fire, the Santa Maria tragedy is the world’s deadliest nightclub fire in over a decade.
Santa Maria authorities put blame for the fire on the band Gurizada Fandangueira and have not ruled out the possibility that charges would be filed.
Survivors reported that initially, bouncers stopped people from evacuating the nightclub because it’s common for club-goers to leave without paying for drinks and bouncers demanded people show proof that they’d paid for theirs. Not realizing the fire was raging inside, this likely contributed to the death toll.
Props to Best Gore member blackinki for the tip. Several videos of the incident are available:
Gallery of a few pics:
just sad
That ain’t sad.
Dnepropetrovsk maniacs. That is sad.
Where the crispy ones at?!
Baked probably ate them all 🙂
Most likely! Fried chocolate sounds good right about meow!
mmmm Lady…deliciously disgusting i’d like to slurp and glurp…..burp
All that and start on you once we’re through.
once again we come back to devouring each other…figuratively and literally…
There are no crispy ones. I think they of CO2 asphyxiation or were trampled to death.
200 plus died from fire and no crispy pictures? dude….
That’s some serious gore right there.
I too am having a slow day Markus but c’mon now.
I’m off to the bottle shop and when I get home I is gonna pack me a cone or 2 and re-visit the chainsaw beheading video untill the next installment of BG arrives………….. ahhhhhh yes, that sounds more like it
This is really sad. Does Brazil have laws limiting
how many people can be in a nightclub at any given time?
Not really. This nightclub wasn’t even supposed to be open, since it does not have the required municipal license to operate. The owner probably bribed the fire inspectors, bribery is a very common thing here in Brazil.
i’m guessing not since Brazil is heavily populated ( one of the most populated countries on earth ) but after an event like this some law will be made to have a limit on the amount of people in clubs or musicians will have to have there equipment checked before playing.
I don’t think Brazil has any laws for anything!
Our president declared a “National Mourning Day”. As if horrible, violent deaths are a very unusual thing in Brasil.
that’s what they get. how DARE they try to have fun?!?!
Indoor fireworks and booze is a recipe for disaster but the real question…was the band any good?
They were using pyrotechnics…they were fucking great.
this made me chuckle
Haha! Fuck yeah.
@Brokeback…the band was in rare form….they were “on fire”.
That’s the thing about the Kiss disaster — sure the people died but at least they didn’t have to listen to that shitty music. Silver lining!
those crazy Brazilians are always down for a good party. i hope no trannys died. that would be tragic.
Kiss – The HOTTEST nightclub in Brazil!! **Fire Exits sold seperately**
Now that was [email protected]!
If the girl in pink rubs any harder my screen will catch fire.
Burning a nightclub, the most efficient way to keep the douchbag population under control.
Its gonna be a great year for the local funeral homes.
People are just dying to get in.
It’s always a great year for funeral homes in Brazil.
Many flip flops went bye-bye that night.
The band could always claim that setting the entire building on fire was just part of the act.
Alot of hot bodies there. I’m getting sweaty.
“Hot bodies”…hahaha, made me laugh!
A1 sauce or sweet&sour ?
I bet when they all left their houses, they thought they were hot shit.
There have been countless club fires attributed to indoor pyrotechnics. And we still don’t learn. Whatever more gore for us I guess.
finally got my tanto blade sharpened. took longer than it should have, but i finally got an edge on it that i’m not embarassed to look at. don’t know why i felt like sharinf that?
It’s the little things in life that bring us happiness…enjoy it but watch your fingers.
List of dead Da Silvas. WTF of 233 dead Brazilians only 11 were Da Silva, I’m really disappointed:
Alisson Oliveira da Silva
Andrieli Righi da Silva
Augusto Sergio Krauspenhar da Silva
Douglas da Silva Flores
Geni Louren?o da Silva
Jaderson da Silva
Jo?o Carlos Barcellos Silva
Leandro Nunes da Silva
Luciano Ariel Silva da Silva
Luiza Alves da Silva
Ta?s da Silva Scaplin de Freitas
“Luciano Ariel Silva da Silva”
Damn it! That’s a double “da Silva”. No wonder he didn’t lived long.
pyrotechnics inside a small building with hundreds crammed inside = smart
They died listening to this: :-/

RIP
oh that music SUCKS!
Glad to see all the dead bodies of those who complied with the authoritiy of the bouncers. How dare all those still alive because they defied this authority!
Of course that was an extreme…..Good comment though.
Thanks Dr.C !
The president mourned today because these club goers can’t be bribed with cocain for votes anymore….. If its true the club shouldn’t have been open then the club owners better skip town quickstyle!
Sad day for the Da Silva family 🙁
I am a Brazilian citizen of 49 years old ( living in S?o Paulo city ) and I can say here : the Brazil is a mess nowadays . No one trusts the authorities and politicians . Our politicians just want whores cock suckers, whiskey, lavish dinners, money, power and other perks . They don’t work for our country , just for themselves . Mainly Asians and Arabs are buying all our lands in North ridiculously affordable price , decimating our forests and killing our Indians . The Europeans are buying the best land in our coastal region . The Koreans and Chinese are invading S?o Paulo city and riding his trades and mistreating the Brazilians workers . Our streets are full of filth on the floor and indifferent people . We have true animals driving vehicles . The vast majority of Brazilian people think just about parties , alcohol , fun and easy enrichment . You don’t see more respect for young people , children , the elderly , the Nature and nor for women . What we have here in majority are people complaining all the time but accepting to live a mediocre life , dreaming of winning the ‘MEGA-SENA’ lottery ticket , that is practically owned by a gang of our Federal Bank CEF cheating weekly our people with the dream of easy money . This occurs from North to South, from East to West . We are becoming a nation of reactionary idiots , poor music with poor lyrics made by idiots ( you can measure the intellectual level of a country through music and I’m ashamed of the most current popular songs here ) .
In Brazil crime pays. You no longer know who is the real cop or thug . The government spends more money on prisoners than with the education of our youth ! Criminals who are arrested have access to more nutritious meals than the students in public schools ! Our Criminal Code is ridiculous and unfair . Let’s take the case of the husband who murdered his ex-wife recently with several shots in the street : the crime was filmed by a security camera (http://goo.gl/hQ2jv) . The killer came forward to the police with the murder weapon , confessed to the crime and left through the front door of the police station to respond in freedom !
We have something absurd here called ‘pardon’ . Our Criminal Code give pardon for Easter, Christmas and other dates ’emotive’ like Mothers Day and Children Day . How this absurd is : if the criminal ( a murderer , a rapist , a drug dealer and the like ) has good behavior in jail and has served one third of the sentence , he has the right to leave the jail to visit family and the obligation to return to the prison after the holiday . Last Christmas we had a true army of over 16.000 really dangerous criminals happy and free , hanging out on the streets of Brazil . Our law full of bullshit and our indolent politicians with a big hole in the ass does this favour for the crime every year . The result is always the same : 40% never return voluntarily ( obviously ) . A humble honest worker earns minimum wage ( US$ 300,00/month ) to sustain his family working 9AM-6PM , 5 days a week but our criminals who are arrested have the right to receive assistance from the government ( http://goo. gl/Jmp2N ) whose value is ( believe me ) above minimum wage . Worse , EACH dependent of the criminal under 18 years of age has the right to receive this money . In short : if the criminal killed an honest father of family and has 10 children under 18 years , this piece of shit has the right to receive more than US$ 3,000.00/month while jailed . I’m not kidding . You can make a small business fucking your wife like crazy to make many babys , commit a crime , go to the jail , eat well and receive a good money that is guaranteed like a right . You want more ? Making counts, every Brazilian works four months a year just to pay taxes , which are the biggest in the world . Ask any Brazilian if I’m lying .
What happened in this nightclub ( Boate Kiss ) I explain based on the information obtained in the news here : a house with a capacity of 800 people receiving almost 2,000 in a tight space to see the show from a idiot band ( Gurizada Fandangueira Band – one member died ) that was always using pyrotechnics INDOOR during their shows . On this fateful night the vocalist of the band lit one pointing to the ceiling whose lining was styrofoam and foam and in seconds the flames and smoke spread around and to complicate the truculent security guards locked the exit doors claiming it was necessary to pay the bill of the drinks before ! Some customers came into fight to have access to a single exit door ( yes , just a exit door – 1,60m width – to almost 2.000 people in panic ) when the fire was spreading inside . The result were those piles of bodies of innocent young people that was were there just for fun . A true tragedy . Horrible death they had . RIP MY YOUTHS .
Now , to make the things worse , in February we will have a very popular event and internationally known as the name of Carnival . For those unaware , the Carnival is all about beautiful women but has everything to do with organized crime, teens prostitution, arms sales, drug sales, corruption and illegal gambling . Google ‘Primeiro Comando da Capital ( PCC )’ and ‘Comando Vermelho ( CV )’ . The first belongs to S?o Paulo and the second to Rio de Janeiro . Most of the money that funds the Carnival ( mainly in Rio de Janeiro ) comes from organized crime . But people do not care and most of them do not know about these details . They are thinking more about the whores , the trannies and the pools of beer that will drink and listen a poor Samba music , whose musical quality and roots was abandoned many years ago . Carnival is not more a party , is just a huge millionaire competition of egos during 4 days . The true Carnival is dead .
We have good people here but like I said : Brazil is a mess nowadays .
tell me more about the trannys. where can i find them?
Brazil is the portrait of its population.
Brazil is the shit because this crowded with black and indigenous blood. that is all
“that is all” LOL . You say like you’re some master of knowledge . Looking for your face that looks like a baby from a pack of diapers , I tell you that most likely your blood is a mixture of urine and WD-40 and you would not have the strength or stamina to endure 15 minutes here . I’m white and ask you to respect black and Indian people from anywhere in the world .
sim…isto ? tudo.
o brasil ? oque ? justamente por causa de sua demografia.
digo mais:a America latina ? oque ? por causa de sua demografia .
s?o justamente as regi?es mais brancas da America latina onde ? melhor qualidade de vida,o inverso tambem ? verdadeiro.
agora,eu n?o vou deixar de falar a verdade s? por ela ser ,nos dias de hoje,inconveniente.
@andersonaugusto

@andersonaugusto, there is no need to personaly attack him. He is just trying to describe whats going on there. What if you were writing about whats happening where you live, and someone just started calling you names for no reason. You wouldn’t like it. So back the fuck off. Who the fuck are you. Troll. Go get your sister pregnant. And stop talking shit to people.

Hmm, im curious as to what most of these guys died from.. Trampling maybe? They look unharmed, apart from the fact they are dead obviously.
More than 200 brazilians dead, this is a nice start.
The FSA will take these pictures and say Syrian government did this in Aleppo.
Folks were screamin’,
Out of control.
It was so entertainin’,
When the boogie started to explode.
I heard somebody say:
Burn baby burn!
Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn!
Burn that mama down.
Burn baby burn!
Disco inferno!
I live in Montr?al and it was the top page of the local Newspaper, must be a huge news worldwide!
If you want to kill a lot of people at once invite them to a club
the roof is on fire.
the roof IS on fire
club yells out YOLO
everybody dies.
I bet at least 10 Da Silvas died in that fire.
Glad my Burn Baby Burn disco days are behind me. Fire, fuck up drunk people and not enough exits = this kind of shit!
What a horrible way to die. RIP.
Bet the girls there were smoking lol xD
You just can’t imagine the horror……….
Olando massacre was a fraud that never ever exist. 50 people killed and 50 ijuried and none a fucking photo…
