Nightclub Fire at Romanian Halloween Party Reportedly Kills 27
A fire at a nightclub in Bucharest, Romania has reportedly left at least 27 dead and many others wounded. Officials say that pyrotechnics sparked the blaze, triggering a stampede to get out of the club’s only entrance.
The fire occurred at a Halloween party and concert at a club called Colectiv, built inside a Communist-era factory.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said in a Facebook post that he was “deeply saddened” by the news.
“It is a very sad moment for all of us, for our nation and for me personally,” he wrote.
