Police officers said about 130 others were injured when the blaze broke out shortly after midnight at the Santika Club in an entertainment area of Bangkok.

Don't know if any of you saw this on your local news station but..what a tragedy. Over 1000 people in the club. I'd say that some never had a chance.

I hope that this is the last of a long list of tragedies for the year and 2009 will be, at least start off, much better.

Have a fun and safe New Year everyone.
