$30 million likely award in blaze
From Times Wire Services
A TV station and a cameraman accused of getting in the way of people fleeing the nightclub fire that killed 100 people have reached a tentative $30-million settlement with survivors and victims’ relatives, station officials said.
It is the largest settlement of several reached so far with the dozens of people and companies who sued over the Feb. 20, 2003, fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick. The blaze began when pyrotechnics ignited soundproofing foam around the stage.
