Stardust: Coroner's summary highlights speed at which fire spread

The Stardust inquests have heard the evidence of over 370 witnesses.

A small fire in a corner that people had stood watching rapidly became one that “flew across the ceiling”, bringing smoke so intense that it quickly overcame dozens, a jury at the Stardust inquests has heard.

These details were recalled by Dublin District Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane on Tuesday, as she continued to summarise the evidence of witnesses at the landmark inquests into the tragedy.
