Brazil nightclub inferno 'started by 92c flare'; 234 dead and dozens critically ill
Penny-pinching by a band known for its on-stage pyrotechnic displays may have cost more than 230 people their lives at a nightclub in southern Brazil, the policeman leading the investigation into the deadly blaze said.
Inspector Marcelo Arigony said members of the band knowingly bought flares meant for outdoor use because they cost just 92c each, compared with €26 for an indoor flare.
