A major tragedy unfolded late last night at “Puls” night club in Kochani where over 1500 young people attended the concert of the DNK band.
According to the latest report 59 people have lost their lives, with over 180 injured taken to different hospitals around the country. The culprit of the fire appears to have been pyro show while the DNK band was playing, a video circulated on social media showed the low hanging ceiling catching fire as the band played.
The fire, smoke and the stampede of 1500 people resulted in chaos and the death of 51 people.
Latest information from Kocani is that the police is investigating the pyro show and are questioning the owners of the club about the capacity of the night club and allowing a pyro show in an enclosed area. Most of the people present were below the age of 18, this is illegal.
Interesting to note, Macedonia doesn’t have an intensive care unit wing at the Clinic in Skopje because “Karil” is undergoing renovations forever and the Health Minister Arben Taravari decided not to open another ICU wing hoping that nothing bad would happen. The country is run by imbeciles.
Macedonia’s sports federations have cancelled all their matches today.
Update: More than a dozen badly injured people will be transported to hospitals in other countries. The Health Ministry did not specify which countries/hospitals. MINA finds they have been transported with helicopters to Greek hospitals.
Survivors have given interviews for local tv stations who immediately backed our initial suspicions that most of the deaths are result of injuries from the stampede. Kocani has 1 (one) ambulance vehicle.
MoI reported that the owners of the Puls night club are on the run, operated the establishment without a license, the original license expired in 2023. The night club itself has 1 window and could fit no more than 200 people, yet somehow had 1,500?! Unfortunately, Macedonia doesn’t have fire/safety inspectors as is the norm in the west.
Below is the shack that hosted 1,500 people.
