Colectiv nightclub fire
Updated: 12/11/2025, 4:23:58 PM Wikipedia source
On 30 October 2015, a nightclub fire which occurred in Bucharest, Romania, killed 64 people (26 on site, 38 in hospitals) and injured 146 others. The fire was caused by a fireworks accident and is the deadliest such incident in Romanian history. It occurred during a free concert performed by the metalcore band Goodbye to Gravity to celebrate the release of their new album, Mantras of War. The band's pyrotechnics, consisting of sparkler firework candles, ignited the club's flammable polyurethane acoustic foam, and the fire spread rapidly. Most of the victims were poisoned by toxins released from the burning foam. Overwhelmed by the high number of victims, Romanian authorities transferred some of the seriously injured to hospitals in Israel, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany and France. Mass protests over the corruption linked to the fire led to the resignation of Prime Minister Victor Ponta. In advance of the concert, the band announced that they would be including customised lighting, "pyrotechnic effects", and scenic elements brought in to "give life to the science fiction artwork" of the new album. The band's guitarists Vlad Țelea and Mihai Alexandru, as well as drummer Bogdan Lavinius and bassist Alex Pascu died. Vocalist Andrei Găluț was hospitalised with injuries. The club's main shareholder and co-founder, Alin George Anastasescu, together with two other associates, Costin Mincu and Paul Cătălin Gancea, were arrested on 2 November for negligent homicide, negligent bodily harm, and negligent destruction. The club opened in May 2013 on the location of what was previously the Pionierul shoe factory, at Tăbăcarilor Street 7 in Sector 4 of Bucharest, within 3 km (2 mi) of the Palace of the Parliament. Because it was a high-casualty fire caused by illegal indoor usage of outdoor pyrotechnics, the 2015 disaster is similar to the 2001 Canecão Mineiro nightclub fire in Brazil; the 2003 Station nightclub fire in the United States; the 2004 República Cromañón nightclub fire in Argentina; the 2008 Wuwang Club fire in China; the 2009 Santika Club fire in Thailand (cause is disputed); the 2009 Lame Horse fire in Russia, the 2013 Kiss nightclub fire in Brazil, and the 2025 Kočani nightclub fire in North Macedonia.
