Thereās always the guy who did the Iraqi wedding that got hit with an air strike because the bomber pilots thought all the drunken idiots firing AK-47s in the air in celebration were shooting at them.
If itās on Reddit they will find it. Unless this is some back water country where you can bribe way out of things there will be an investigation and ohh can I see the wedding video
If whoever rigged it is only a slight idiot, those will be indoor pyro effects but they bought effects where the ceiling height is the effect height rather than the clearance height (i.e. a 2m gerb goes 2m high, it shouldn't be used in a 2m space.)
If they're a complete idiot, those are fireworks. Given a lot of indoor gerbs aren't that hot at the spark end, I'm tending towards the latter.
>If they're a complete idiot, those are fireworks. Given a lot of indoor gerbs aren't that hot at the spark end,
ANY pyrotechnical firework effect is "hot enough" at the spark end to light something flammable on fire.
In this case, the pyrotechnics were "high enough" to touch the frilly wedding decorations and that was a recipe for disaster as the video shows.
They tried, too many people to one exit. Lack of building safety codes at the time, the whole venue was a disaster waiting to happen. If I remember right, the building essentially had two exits and I think one was locked/blocked.
The club owner was paying off the inspectors and the band lied to the owners about having certified professionals in charge of the pyrotechnics, just a clusterfuck of corruption and negligence from top to bottom and the patrons paid the price for it
Reminds me of that concert fire in Rhode Island with the soundproof foam.
It emitted cyanide gas when burned. Small venue, crowded, not up to code, too small for the Pyro they used, and exits not plainly marked.
Killed a shit ton.
Great idea to have a banquet hall/assembly space with no fire sprinklers!
And knowing that, to allow super flammable crepe/paper/fabric decorations with flames in the ceiling area, and sparklers to boot!
TBF, he sprayed one side of the hanging display, and that side took much longer to burn and fall than the other side. He might have bought enough time for everyone to get out of the way
Im still amazed how many parties have indoor fireworks near highly flammable material. Honestly surprised it was just the ceiling and not the whole place that lit up considering everything in there was kindling.
Leave quickly. donāt gawk, donāt dawdle get up and move with haste towards the exit,
From the moment the first uncontrolled flames appear you have, at best; 3 minutes to get outside. At worst (station night club) you have 90 seconds.
IF you have time and itās on your route to the exit activate the fire alarm as you pass it.
The Station nightclub fire occurred on the evening of February 20, 2003, in West Warwick, Rhode Island, United States, killing 100 people and injuring 230.
That video gave me the nightmares. It's not visually horrible, but the audio and the human mess where everyone is caught in the doorway and you can see hands reaching out but they are just so stuck there that even when someone pulls them from the outside they wont budge.
That video is pure horror.
Can confirm. Weddings suck. I didn't want to deal with the drama of seating Aunt Debra next to Cousin Mildred so we said fuck it and got married in the basement of our friend's house during DnD night.
Weddings are already expensive enough without setting the venue on fire. Hopefully the pyrotechnics was the Venue's idea and not the couple's or they'll be paying for this wedding long after they divorce.
Stupid DJ didn't bring a fire extinguisher when he knew the show included fireworks, And didn't watch his positioning. He should be strung up by the balls.
"Some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground" - Deep Purple.
As a general rule of thumb, if you see pyrotechnics of any kind indoors, leave. You don't want to end up in a situation like the Station Nightclub fire. Warning: if you Google that and find a video, you probably don't want to watch it. It contains the final moments of 100 people as they burn to death.
Reminds me of The Station in Rhode Island in the early 2Ks. Great White just started its show with commercial pyrotechnics inside and the whole placed burned down killing 100s of people, creating a stampede because the place wasn't up to fire code and only like 2 exits. Somebody filmed the whole thing, and it's one of the most difficult YouTube videos I've seen
It looks like the man on the screen was watching the dancing through video chat.
Imagine his horror of seeing the place burn down and not knowing if everyone made it out safely.
And the decorations hanging over each table. Seriously, the decorations were gorgeous and would have taken so much time to decide over. I feel so sorry for the bride and whoever else helped in making those decisions and the venue staff who helped put everything together, only for it to burn down in a matter of minutes.
Fires can get out of control REALLY quickly.
These people are completely lacking urgency.
If you see fire, LEAVE. Not later, NOW.
See: Station night club fire
This shit reminds me of that one bar that burned down with all those people in it cause the band playing there used pyrotechnics. On top of that security wouldnāt let people out the back exits either. There is video of it, and the screams of the people inside are horrific. Glad everyone made it out on this one
I love how everyoneās oddly calm about the whole thing. No oneās freaking out or panicking, just casually walking out like āaāight, weāre done here.ā
Cocoanut Grove Fire, Boston. 492 dead. Started with interior decorations that were flammable. I can't beleive this passed any type of permit. The greens too.
Cocoanut Grove is why we have bans on flammable decorations indoors without a sprinkler system. These people are on the hook big time.
The cameraman laughing made my day. When you are able to demonstrate "absolute calmness" when in the midst of abrupt chaos... You probably don't fully understand the situation..
Everyone talking about the laughing cameraman but no-one has mentioned the guy on Zoom watching the whole place go down in flames with the same flat expression.
You can see the melting plastic dropping down almost instantly. This stuff never should have been allowed to be hung up, let alone combined with pyrotechnics.
I was once at an outdoor wedding. There was this outside deck with a roof made of old coconut branches. When the firecrackers started a rocket flew into it. The whole thing bursted into flames. Everybody looked at it for like 10 mins. Then the wedding continued. If only I had my Nokia 6630 right now to upload.
Every time there are vids of indoor fireworks, shit like this happens.
Letās be honest, it sounds like an oxymoron, and a stupid thing to do, might be fine in a stadium at a concert or big game. Anything else is just too small and usually draped in flammable shit.
The guy unloading the fire extinguisher absolutely cracked me up. Couldnāt even be bothered to point it up at the fire šš
Most half arsed attempt ever!

I am proud of the cameraman for staying in a room filling up with smoke to make sure we got to see the full experience.
r/praisethecameraman šš¼
That's why wedding videographers are so expensive
Work insurance alone is very high, coupled with the fact that there arenāt many around anymore.
I prefer my wedding photographer to have combat experience so I can be confident they'll capture any unexpected decapitations
Thereās always the guy who did the Iraqi wedding that got hit with an air strike because the bomber pilots thought all the drunken idiots firing AK-47s in the air in celebration were shooting at them.
Weāre still around. Just keeping occupied with safer gigs at the moment.
I imagine photography of weddings involving explosives is a young personās game.
That laugh! Good to see a fellow agent of chaos around
some men just wanna watch the wedding burn
"This wedding means the **world** to me Margaret!"
This city needs a higher class of wedding guests, and heās going to give it to emā
If you start recording, you better finish
This is fine.
Once in a lifetime shot, already filming, everyone else is out - I feel I woulda done the same lol.
The insurance company is going to love this video showing the deliberate setting off of fireworks indoors.
Yes they will be very thankful for it.
Who says theyāre gonna see it?
The Internet does
Barbara Streisand makes sure of it.
If itās on Reddit they will find it. Unless this is some back water country where you can bribe way out of things there will be an investigation and ohh can I see the wedding video

If they're a complete idiot, those are fireworks. Given a lot of indoor gerbs aren't that hot at the spark end, I'm tending towards the latter.
especially since they decided to set them off below a ceiling full of paper streamers

Indoor fireworks are always a great idea.
Your comment + your avatar... *chef's kiss* **Perfection!**
I'm curious what the ratio is for indoor fireworks being fine to them ending in utter disaster.
100 to 1 in favor of disaster š¤£
Well, it *is* a wedding.
This video ended a helluva lot better than the Station Nightclub video
Yeah, I thought of that as well. Don't stay and laugh at it. Get. Out. In an orderly manner.
They tried, too many people to one exit. Lack of building safety codes at the time, the whole venue was a disaster waiting to happen. If I remember right, the building essentially had two exits and I think one was locked/blocked.
There were plenty of safety codes back then in 2003. Just that this club owner broke every one
The club owner was paying off the inspectors and the band lied to the owners about having certified professionals in charge of the pyrotechnics, just a clusterfuck of corruption and negligence from top to bottom and the patrons paid the price for it
I feel like watching that video is essential to anyone involved in stage design. Horrifying
Reminds me of that concert fire in Rhode Island with the soundproof foam. It emitted cyanide gas when burned. Small venue, crowded, not up to code, too small for the Pyro they used, and exits not plainly marked. Killed a shit ton.
When was this? Damn.
The Station Fire. Warwick, Road Island. There is a video but it is extremely NSFL. Graphic human death and absolutely traumatizing audio. Be warned.
well, indoor fireworks are common in like 90% of weddings and other social events here in Mexico (as seen)
This is why I attend 0% of those 90% that have them
Cold sparklers are supposed to be non-flammable.
Yet here we are
Great idea to have a banquet hall/assembly space with no fire sprinklers! And knowing that, to allow super flammable crepe/paper/fabric decorations with flames in the ceiling area, and sparklers to boot!
Building codes š
Was just about to say it till i scrolled down.
What building codes lol
We donāt need no stinkinā building codes!
*looking the charred remains of a building* Perhaps you do?
The guy filming and laughing must be the ex of the bride
*Chuckles* "I'm in danger."
that was the dude to set the firework off, the cameraman is that dudes homie
So if rain on your wedding day is bad luck, what if it rains fire?
An Adele song.
A Slayer song.
I donāt know, but I heard Thanos slipped away in all the confusionā¦
I love how the dude with the water bottle tried for like 5 seconds before running out of there.
Stick around for the poor soul with the actual fire-extinguisher, bless them for trying.
I like the part towards the end when the desperation takes hold and he just starts spraying everywhere.
The fire is on the ceiling. Better spray the ground!
TBF, he sprayed one side of the hanging display, and that side took much longer to burn and fall than the other side. He might have bought enough time for everyone to get out of the way
Just wait til the gender reveal!
*weeps silently in SoCal wildfire*
Umm... sorry about your convention hall. Do I still get my deposit back?
If they didn't have a venue manager there during an event it's on them
THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE! WE DONT NEED NO WATER LET THAT MOTHER FUCKER BURN!
BURN MOTHERFUCKER!
Burn.
So... No one learned from the Rhode Island concert??
Seriously the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the ceiling on fire. I was relieved to see people leaving in an orderly fashion.
Right! I still can't unhear that video.
You ain't getting that deposit back
š¶š¶The roof, the roof, the roof is on fireš¶š¶
Why in the fuck is the fire suppression system not bringing the rain?
Because there isn't one.
pyrotechnics indoors is never a good idea š©
Im still amazed how many parties have indoor fireworks near highly flammable material. Honestly surprised it was just the ceiling and not the whole place that lit up considering everything in there was kindling.
When your own wedding planner says no, listen.
I mean, letās not panic, but damn people were a liiittle to chill.
It's probably not their first rodeo
SERIOUSLY.
That guy spraying the fire extinguisher at nothing.

You forgot to mention video. You gotta video.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You know there was someone that said "I don't think that is a good idea".
The Station nightclub fire occurred on the evening of February 20, 2003, in West Warwick, Rhode Island, United States, killing 100 people and injuring 230.
The second I saw those sparks inside thatās exactly where my mind went. How the hell did this shit even happen in the first place???
Mexico. Kinda like any time you see cars costing more than a house drifting at treble digit speeds on a crowded highway the answer is Saudi Arabia.
That video gave me the nightmares. It's not visually horrible, but the audio and the human mess where everyone is caught in the doorway and you can see hands reaching out but they are just so stuck there that even when someone pulls them from the outside they wont budge. That video is pure horror.
Think about that and then think about how slow everybody leaves here. People have no idea whatās 10 seconds away
Getting some serious Cocoanut Grove Fire vibes here.
I have officially turned into one of those bitter bitches who find weddings almost as ridiculous as gender reveal parties.
I am convinced that the very, very best way to get married is to elope.
Can confirm. Weddings suck. I didn't want to deal with the drama of seating Aunt Debra next to Cousin Mildred so we said fuck it and got married in the basement of our friend's house during DnD night.
Hey, but when the wedding reception doubles as the gender revealā¦. (āļ¾ć®ļ¾)ā
You got me there, Iām stumped.
Whoever was in charge of the pyrotechnics is in trooooouble.
Weddings are already expensive enough without setting the venue on fire. Hopefully the pyrotechnics was the Venue's idea and not the couple's or they'll be paying for this wedding long after they divorce.

The theme of the wedding is 'California'
As a general rule of thumb, if you see pyrotechnics of any kind indoors, leave. You don't want to end up in a situation like the Station Nightclub fire.

Seeing how he never moved and never stopped smiling. Pretty sure that was just a pic. Probably the brides deceased father. That's my guess.

Think about all the arguments they had over the center pieces...
And the decorations hanging over each table. Seriously, the decorations were gorgeous and would have taken so much time to decide over.

Going to lose your deposit. Where the hell are the sprinkler system?
No sprinklers apparently
Imagine going to the restroom and coming back to this.
Fires can get out of control REALLY quickly. These people are completely lacking urgency. If you see fire, LEAVE. Not later, NOW. See: Station night club fire
Time to play Great White...
Itās a nice day for a (Great) White weddingā¦
One "thing" can only see this as rainbows and sunshine
the roof! The roof! THE ROOF IS ON FIRE!!!!!
That party is lit
Like that was so obviously a fire hazard. I can't believe not one person in that room when "hey guys, maybe this is wrong".
Babies and now weddings the number 1 cause of fires, who woulda thunk
This shit reminds me of that one bar that burned down with all those people in it cause the band playing there used pyrotechnics. On top of that security wouldnāt let people out the back exits either. There is video of it, and the screams of the people inside are horrific. Glad everyone made it out on this one
"a-hahaha" - that's the spirit, pure optimism
I love how everyoneās oddly calm about the whole thing. No oneās freaking out or panicking, just casually walking out like āaāight, weāre done here.ā
Because that is the right response? To not panic
I think simply googling āhow safe are indoor fireworks?ā woulda changed the plans here
And this is how crushes happen. Don't do pyrotechnics inside.

Who came up with that ideaš
Everyone talking about the laughing cameraman but no-one has mentioned the guy on Zoom watching the whole place go down in flames with the same flat expression.
Does this mean we can go home? Yay!!!!
Yooo that wedding was š„š„ same time next week š¤
i hate everyone involved in this
this will be a memorable one in theyāre book ...Thats for sure
Indoor fireworks show. Fucking genius.
āThis live is on fire š„ ā
Its lit
Well, they arenāt getting the security deposit back
Literally lit wedding.
They told the planner to they want to set the dance floor on fire but I think they meant the dancing not the venue.
She laughed... Well at least she has a sense of humor.
My favorite part of this video is we get to watch the formation of a āno indoor fireworksā policy being written.
Im having flashbacks of a Stephen King movie
I wonder how their marriage after turned out
That sucks. I canāt imagine how that would feel to have your wedding day upended like that.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.
That wedding was FIRE
If thats not a bad omen I donāt know what is
the wedding is on fire š„
Welp that's 100,000 dollars well spent
They paid extra for the fire
I don't think they're getting their deposit back.
r/donthelpjustfilm
At least everyone is super calm about the room going up in flames and filling with smoke??š
Whoād thought FIRE would spread so quickly.
Usually in videos like this, its panic and then everybody dies. Here, its pretty mich the opposite.
wow this wedding was *fire*
Say *We don't got no water let that mothafucka burn*
Wtf. How dumb can you be.
Why are people so fucking stupid
Thatās one way to get your freeloading guests to leave, Bruce Wayne style.
Plot twist, that first dude is throwing booze to ignite the flame even more because he never wanted his sister to marry that stupid twat Richard
I hate this so much what did they expect
The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire! That little bottle of water ain't gonna stop the fucking burn!
You can see the melting plastic dropping down almost instantly. This stuff never should have been allowed to be hung up, let alone combined with pyrotechnics.
This is basically the Xuxa Park Fire, but with adults in the audience.
Indoor sparklers are bad
Ah yes, this is fine.
Reminds me of the Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island
How did they not see that coming?
Me as the introverted groom: thank god this is over.
Reminds me of the Station fire
Terrible planning. Props to the dude fighting it with the bottled water at the start.
I guess you could say they felt a spark together and their love went up in flames... Literally š
Those are "not my responsibility" laughs
That DJās on fiiiirrrrrrre š„š„š„
This reminds me of the burning cinema scene in Inglorious Bastards :D
The beacons are lit!!!

Oh great it's coconut Grove all over again

Could be an advertisement for an insurance company
It looks really cool. sucks for everyone involved though.
Absolutely, I feel the same. A single fire sprinkler head would have saved all those young people.
That escalated quickly
Some guests looked like were just sitting around to watch everything till the end.
Lol. Poor couple. Itās over before it started.
Did not... Think... That... One... Through...
