    I agree, Gabe. It hurts. Some survivors and family members did see him as a scapegoat. Others just did not have forgiveness. I am not sure which way that I would have gone because I was not in that situation. I recently looked at his page and he does have two young children. He looks like he has found happiness, but I know that he really seems like the type of guy that will always have this disaster on his mind.
    The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

    Hey guys! I just really wanted to thank you all for all of the information you've all provided. I was about 6 years old when the fire happened, but I have distant memories about it. My mom was reeeeeally deep into it & researched it for a solid two months before taking a solid break from it all. It really affected her emotionally. I've always known about it, but it wasn't until recently that I found myself getting sucked into the same hole of research that my mother did 13 years prior. She worries a lot about me continuing, but I just can't stop! I have no clue what it is, but I'm just drawn to it. I've learned so much! Anyways, thank you all! I hope to see this thread come back to life again!

    You should turn your mom onto this thread, she could be lost in it for a week. It is weird how certain events can suck us in. Like you, I have this deep fascination in this event. I think it might be tied to the fact that most of us can relate to being in a stuffy packed concert venue/ bar and know that at some point this could of been us.
    I've never been ashamed to be a white American and I have ZERO guilt and no pussy liberal is going to make me feel I should.

    Oh noooo, she could never. She wouldn't sleep again! I'm not fully sure -what- exactly pulled me in, but the video was certainly a contributing factor. It's -so- difficult to watch. I originally discovered this thread while looking for IDs of the people in the before video. It took me nearly a month to finish, but I made it! It's a shame that no one seems to be around as much. I'm also not sure I have anything else to contribute other than that I'm certain that the red shirt girl isn't Pam or Sarah. This girl looks like she's in her early 20s maybe even late teens & that everyone that she comes in contact with in the before video seemed to also be around the same age. I could be wrong, but I think the only reason she got out was because she wasn't at the front anymore when the gerbs went of. I, of course, am likely wrong, but I didn't see her in the front anymore when the concert started. I also think, though I -seriously- hope I'm wrong, that you see Pamela Gruttadauria in the 'after' videos. As they are rushing people into the ambulance you see a very petite person, who appears to have everything from the neck up burned, being rushed into the ambulance. It's all so, so sad... I also weirdly find myself drawn to particular victims, which to be honest makes me feel -very- guilty... I don't know.. It's just all very sad.

    Welcome Tizzie. Wow - is the video that you are talking about on youtube? Poor Pam didn't even want to go there that night. I kind of feel that one of the biggest draws of this fire is that there is a before video. It tends to be a bit more painful than watching the actual fire because you see these people having a great time and you know what is about to happen to them. As you look at them, you realize that they have know idea what you already know

    It's absolutely tragic. & yes! It took a little searching, but I found it. I have no proof that the person is Pam, it's really anyone's guess. I just thought it was her as the person looked to have very similar injuries and looked rather small. Here's the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI0clra15Ac the person is wheeled past at about the 3:20 mark.

    It's from the footage by Greg Best. Mike Vargas appears around 2:55 and the woman (I THINK it's a woman) around 3:25. Luckily, youtube now has slow-mo. It helps a tiny bit.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI0c...feature=relmfu

    In another clip, the atrium area collapses at 55 seconds and a man is wheeled out from 1:10 to 1:56. In the old thread, either LLC or Mammy got a clear screen shot of him and posted it for everyone to see. He was not identified.

    Yep! That was the video I was referring to. It could honestly be anyone, but Pamela always came to mind for me.

    Wow, you've got a great eye to see it. It seems as if the person is rolled by so quickly. I just can't tell.

    Oh! I also just finished reading Killer Show & I was a little confused by something... I was always under the impression that only 4 people died in the hospital ( Linda, Kelly, Mitchell, & Pamela.), but it briefly mentions Kevin Anderson being sent to two different hospitals, dying in the later. Also, thank you so much for the warm welcome!

    It's a mistake. The Grand Jury testimony of Dr. LaPosata does not mention that anyone else died in hospital. I imagine that would be important. The governor stated that no one died in the immediate aftermath after being transported from the scene. Barylick even contradicts his own words:

    Page 139: "...Anderson had been at the hospital, but was immediately airlifted to a burn center...died shortly thereafter..."

    Page 124: "None died at the triage center or during transport. That only four of all those transported died later (days, weeks, or months later) is a testament not only to the superb hospital care they received..."

    OOPS!

    Generally speaking, Barylick's book is wonderful and I am grateful for it. I wish his staff would have done a more thorough job of fact-checking. It's not difficult to do, it's just tedious. Look at how much this little thread has confirmed and debunked !
    Barylick's refusal to acknowledge that the woman he claimed was Dina Demaio was actually Jenn Choquette is unconscionable.

    Oh! Thank you! I thought it was pretty strange... It seemed there was a lot of misinformation in the book. You'd think Barylick would recognize Jen. I still really enjoyed reading the book, it was so heartbreaking. I'm still on the search for more stuff to read about the fire, but I feel my resources are drying up. I'm happy to see people returning though!

    Are you able to screenshot/screen grab this part where you say you saw Ms. Gruttadauria. I don't think I have eyes as good as everyone else but maybe I could look and see.

    There were some discrepencies in Mr. Barylick's book. The biggest one is Jenn Choquette.

    Basically the same as the one below it with a better image. Plus these two posts were spam.

    Take two! Hopefully I can get this image... If this posts twice I'll take care of it immediately! If memory serves me right this individual is confirmed to be female. I vaguely remember Mr. Vargas mentioning he was in an ambulance with two injured women. It's also assumed that this is the same woman who Mr. Vargas mentioned was behind him & reached over him for the fire fighters. Who she is, is still anyone's guess. I always just thought it was Pamela because the injuries were all quite similar.

    From the notes for that page about Kevin Anderson, it seems most likely that John Barylick cited a Providence Journal article titled, "With Photos In Hand, Families Hold Out Hope" by Tom Mooney, Linda Borg and Amanda Milkovits from Feb 22, 2003. I looked for it on archive.org, ixquick and google. No results.

    The Providence Journal website has an archive section. I found the link to this article in a text search, but you have to pay to access the full article.

    Here is the PJ archive search page: http://www.newslibrary.com/sites/pjri/

    I don't think it's that bad, it certainly raises awareness of what happened there.

    It's really kind of strange. I look at that site now and it looks so peaceful just sitting there in the sunshine. It is kind of hard to look at it and imagine what a horrible tragedy took place there. I sure hope that the survivors get the memorial soon.

    I agree. It gives people a new opportunity to expose themselves. I understand the respect stuff and it is true. But if two people out of twenty go back home and do some research. The same people who will be going to clubs or are in clubs. It will help. Plus a new generation learns names and carries on the respect.

    I do see the point of Gina Russo and some survivors seeing it as a strange place for a Pokeman stop. They have direct ties to the tragedy and have strong feelings about the area. However, I have read that a lot of people are learning new history of places because of Pokeman, so it is really hard to say. I think that it is true that new people should learn about the area and what happened there. I honestly don't know what to say.

    The memorial is happening, but it takes time. And its some drama between members and early members in the group who is working on that memorial

    Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. Sadly, I had not paid attention to this fire until the recent tragedy in Oakland.. Then I kept seeing people talk about it and decided to poke around.. FAD is of course - #1 on google sources for it. I just read the entire first thread plus a lot of the links provided.. ( a lot were taken down unfortunately).. Anyway, I have some questions and observations, but I am going to wait until I read all 17 pages of this thread to post.

    Thanks!

    Hi Belle and welcome to the forum, feel free to ask questions.

    Thanks for the welcome! Over the last few days - I have read BOTH forums. I am sort of proud of myself.. like 7-8k posts.

    I finally read them all.. of course, some things are a blur.

    Was the identity of the courage hero seen grabbing people out of the door in the baseball hat and black tshirt - ever figured out? I think he moves the radio van later on.. I will post screengrabs... or better yet, does this site support gifs? Because I bet I can make one of him, if needed.

    The Oakland fire has opened this wound up again for many, I'm afraid...

    belle234 Guest
    But I think I figured out who that is..

    And if I am right.. it makes sense that he jumped up there with such courage and confidence..

    I have been googling and Jordan Clark and David McGinn are listed as the interns for the radio station. McGinn's father was a firefighter!!

    Whoever the dude in the black is - has my deepest respect and admiration... He is incredible! I will post the screenshots (and maybe if I am allowed -- a gif) of the guy once I am approved to post!

    I don't want to invade his privacy too much, but I really think it is him! It is interesting how different people's eyes - gravitate towards different people when watching the video. I zoned in directly on him because he was so brave and took charge without skipping a beat.

    I read both threads and kept waiting for him to be identified.. In the beginning, when you guys would discuss someone who was rescuing people and helping them out - I kept thinking that he might have ended up dying..

    It actually wasn't much work at all to find him (if it is him). It took me less than 45 minutes!

    I think I remember him being mentioned in the old thread. If my memory serves me right, he was an intern with the radio station that was there, and he could be seen in the pre-fire video.

    Yes. And from what I read there were two male interns: David and Jordan Clark.

    So sorry it took a minute for me to get back to you. You can see him jump over the railing at 2:10. A few seconds later - black smoke pours out of the door way and he moves over to the window/panels to the left and starts helping people out of that. He really is incredible in this.

    It's a mistake. The Grand Jury testimony of Dr. LaPosata does not mention that anyone else died in hospital. I imagine that would be important. The governor stated that no one died in the immediate aftermath after being transported from the scene. Barylick even contradicts his own words:

    Page 139: "...Anderson had been at the hospital, but was immediately airlifted to a burn center...died shortly thereafter..."

    Page 124: "None died at the triage center or during transport. That only four of all those transported died later (days, weeks, or months later) is a testament not only to the superb hospital care they received..."

    OOPS!

    Generally speaking, Barylick's book is wonderful and I am grateful for it. I wish his staff would have done a more thorough job of fact-checking. It's not difficult to do, it's just tedious. Look at how much this little thread has confirmed and debunked !
    Barylick's refusal to acknowledge that the woman he claimed was Dina Demaio was actually Jenn Choquette is unconscionable.
    His statement is correct, triage is when they first come into the crisis center, and when injuries are assessed they deem where to send the burn victims, so he died after being taken to the burn center, he didn't die during transport nor did he die at the hospital,
    Shortly thereafter could be days.

    Who are we talking about? The only intern I saw in the pre-fire vid was Jill Malinowski. Where is a good pre-fire video that can view anymore? The one I used to go to doesn't appear to be up on YouTube anymore.

I looked for it on archive.org, ixquick and google. No results.
    Hi Folks, I am new to forum, had no idea it was out there til I was looking for info on Matthew Pickett's DAT and here I am. I have not been through all the posts yet but thought I might get a start here. Please bear with me if I am duplicating info already discussed. I loved the Barylick book but had noticed a possible discrepancy in the info about Kevin Anderson. The only male victim that had passed in a hospital as far as I could tell was Mitchell Shubert. When I discovered the Public info with all the Witness Statements and Grand Jury statements, I saw a ME Transmittal List from which I think Kevin Anderson is Victim 8069 based on Jay Kingston's Numbering Scheme. So I don't think Kevin was ever at a hospital or burn unit.

    I am still making my way through the first Station thread. (I'm the lone hag in the prior thread... "1 member viewing this thread" & I feel guilt and idk what to do with it...)

    I just want to say that I have respect for the dead and I am so truly sorry for the victims of this tragedy, and for anyone directly affected by it.

    There is a copy of the Butler pre-show video on the Google drive, under the link Contents Not From Original Hard Drive.

    And for convenience, here is a direct link to the video stored there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1F...ew?usp=sharing

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    The burn units were all in Massachussetts. If Kevin Anderson had been transported out of Rhode Island, his death would have been recorded there.



    Frank Drebin: OH, NO! Have the fire videos been purged off of youtube?! Now that you mention it, I think it's been a few months since I've received any notifications of replies in the threads I had participated in from the comments section under the "before" video. I hadn't thought about it until now.

    I still haven't made it all the way through thread #1 (nowhere near!, but I've read all of this thread) so I apologize if this is well known information but I am curious as to what happened to Brian Butler after this. I tried (not very hard, opted to ask you guys here) searching for information about him but all I could find were results related to this tragedy. As I mentioned, I didn't put in an exhaustive search or anything because I figured you guys would have more info.

    I guess what I was wondering is if he still works in news and if he has talked at length about the fire, or the video, way after the fact. I have read the statements he gave immediately after the fire. And I, like many others, don't see him in any way at fault and so the whole thing about the $30m settlement makes me wonder about his mindset after the fact.

    I wonder about all the victims but I haven't seen anything written/mentioned about BB after the fire.

    RodentLady, The pre-fire video posted by Chiefrunningdrunk is no longer up. I did find a pre-fire video, but it was even crappier in quality than the video that we all know. I don't think you could have identified Mario Giamei in it.
