Hollywood Disco

[johng]

At about 9.30 this evening I heard sirens...at first I thought nothing of it..but there where more and more ,so went out to investigate what had happened.

Well Hollywood disco went up in flames for the second time in as many years !!!!

this time looked worse than last time,but probably no one was hurt as the fire was on the outside of the building and it had only just opened...

[mosquitoman]

Lets hope noobody has been hurt

If you stay here long enough everything is corrupt.....

Took a look at the link and the GF said 50 dead. If true very sad and very unnecessary.

You are right, sorry!

Now in english:

Fire broke out at “Hollywood Pub” in Pattaya City a history repeating itself

[jdinasia]

The frightening incident occurred around 21.00 p.m. on October 23rd , the fire start to break out and burnt the sign in front and the entrance archway which were made from insulated foams. The entrance was decorated like a cave; the strong flame spread very quickly the 50 staff of the pub who were getting prepared to work, rushed outside escaping death.

NO deaths .....

I heard today that that location was slotted for new condos. <Usually reliable source ... magazine owner>

I'll truly miss Hollywood if that is true ... was a great place where any group of friends can go!

Drove by tonight. Nothing to indicate a fire. It was business as usual there. I hope this isn't a hoax. No report of this on Pattaya City News for today's update.

From the video (and photographs) it certainly doesn't look like a hoax
