It would take years to find out why &#8211; and who was really at fault.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>All it took for a hundred people to die during a show by the hair metal band Great White was a sudden burst from four giant sparklers that ignited the acoustical foam lining the Station nightclub. But who was at fault? And who would pay? This being Rhode Island, the two questions wouldn\u2019t necessarily have the same answer.<\/p>\n<p>Within 24 hours the governor of Rhode Island and the local police chief were calling for criminal charges, although the investigation had barely begun, key evidence still needed to be gathered, and many of the victims hadn\u2019t been identified. Though many parties could be held responsible, fingers pointed quickly at the two brothers who owned the club. But were they really to blame? Best-selling author and three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Scott James investigates all the central figures, including the band\u2019s manager and lead singer, the fire inspector, the maker of the acoustical foam, as well as the brothers. Drawing on firsthand accounts, interviews with many involved, and court documents, James explores the rush to judgment about what happened that left the victims and their families, whose stories he also tells, desperate for justice.<\/p>\n<p><i>Trial by Fire<\/i>\u00a0is the heart-wrenching story of the fire\u2019s aftermath because while the fire, one of America\u2019s deadliest, lasted minutes, the search for the truth would take years.<\/p>\n<h3>Trial by Fire<\/h3>\n<p>A Devastating Tragedy, 100 Lives Lost, and a 15-Year Search for Truth<br \/>\nBy: Scott James<br \/>\nNarrated by: Justin Spencer<br \/>\nLength: 13 hrs and 31 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 01-26-21<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@125 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 737.67 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/049262a2fb5fffd3bee4d9503993ce24\"><strong>Download from RapidGator<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfam.io\/395ea77ffad2\"><strong>Download from CloudFam<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In only 90 seconds, a fire in The Station nightclub left 100 people dead or dying and injured hundreds more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[126,127,271],"tags":[5713],"class_list":["post-31552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biographies-memoirs","category-history","category-true-crime","tag-scott-james","comments-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
