Phuket disco 'used flammable materials'

PHUKET : The Tiger Discotheque, which burned down in the early hours of Friday morning, killing four people, had adequate fire exits but used highly inflammable materials in its indoor decoration, a building safety expert said.

    Alcolhol in the bottles is also flammable. And why no mention of fire extinguishers?

    Again, the Bangkok Post fails to mention that the club was operating illegally after hours. If they had shut their door at 2 AM, this tragedy would have been averted. The owner's lame excuse that all inside were seeking shelter from a storm is pure BS.
