In all, there were 233 people spending a night out at the Lame Horse nightclub, situated in the center of Perm, when the incident occurred. In the opinion of eyewitnesses, the incident was caused by “unsanctioned use of pyrotechnics, touching off a fire,” (What difference does “unsanctioned” make here? So what if it had been sanctioned?
