Summary
A fire at the Pulse nightclub in Kocani, North Macedonia, killed 51 people and injured over 100 during a concert early Sunday.
Authorities say pyrotechnics ignited the roof, causing chaos as attendees fled. Many victims suffered severe burns and were transported to hospitals across the country.
Officials are investigating safety violations, and one person has been arrested. Leaders from the EU, Albania, and Ukraine expressed condolences.
Pulse shooting - 49 dead, 53 injured
The Station nightclub fire - 100 dead, 230 injured
Pulse shooting doesn’t even make the top 20 of nightclub disasters - fire is much more of a threat, apparently.

…Wait a second, that shooting was at a different nightclub named Pulse.
Pulse might not be the Titanic of clubs, but apparently naming your club Pulse is about as lucky as naming your ship the Titanic.
You know, I didn’t even realize that when my pre-coffee morning brain wrote my comment.
