Donna is my fiance Brooklynn's Mom. Rob was her Stepdad. Brooklynn is my soulmate. My Love. And the mother of 2 of my Sons. Donna would be very proud of her.
Donna would be so proud of Brooklyn she was taken from the girls way to early all because of a bad choice from shitty night club owners they should of been held responsible
Donna sounded like a great and wonderful soul. Sorry for the loss. It's heartbreaking tragic event. That should of never happened. Common sense. 15 foot sparkles in a 12 foot ceiling. With the foam on the walls. He should of new better. They should had more exit's not locked. And sprinkler system in the club. All kinds stupid problems that should of never happened. RIP Donna and the other 99 victims and family's. So... SORRY.
I don't know why all of them wasn't charged for murder. Club owners, Jack Russell, the manager, and the fire inspector. Everyone of them. It's on there heads . I would hate to be them on judgement day
The pain in his eyes to this day crushes me. Donna was so beautiful and they had their whole lives together. The fact you are a firefighter saving lives is huge. Sending love and prayers.
Rob you are so courageous. Thank you for becoming an advocate for fire safety. We must NEVER forget The Station disaster and the 100 innocent souls who perished. There is so much blame to go around. The club owners, the fire marshall, the tour manager and Jack Russell all had a part in the tragedy. It never should have happened and thanks to people like Rob Feeney hopefully it never will again.
My late great friend Scott also passed away 20 years ago today there. Still hurts!!! Know what you guys are going through!!!! So very sorry!!!! Sometimes time don't heal all wounds!!!! Rest in peace those who didn't make it and God bless your family and friends and again am so very much sorry!!!!! Am with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤I'm truly very sorry !! I recently lost my husband of 41yrs. I know that pain runs your life...and you're right, time does not heal that loss.. Hugs❤
I worked with Donna at papa Gino's her ex russ was a good friend of my mom's joselynne and Brooklyn was very close to me and my mom Im sorry for all your loss I'm so happy that u got out this was one of the worst funerals I ever went To and I'm glad u now advocate for situations like this
It's mind boggling, incomprehensible, inconceivable, that anyone would even fathom or hesitate for one second on voting for safety over aesthetics. A fire in any form is the most terrifying thing anyone can go through. Those who survive bear not only physical scars but also bear damage on so many levels. When I was still living in Cuba, back in 1975, I lost 25 college classmates in a bus fire. I was supposed to go on that leisure trip. However, I was under the impression that we were all going to transported in a proper vehicle equipped with air conditioning and emergency exits, a normal bus. Instead they packed everyone like cattle in a poorly built Girón bus which were notorious for breaking down, no emergency exits, and with windows that could barely fit a small child through in case of an accident. I was extremely angry at the university officials and organizers of the trip. I even told my classmates to not board the bus and that we should just take public transportation to the beach destined to hold the event. Only 4 of us stayed behind and I actually decided not to go at all. On the return trip the bus was sideswiped by a military truck and fell into a deep ditch off the side of the road trapping everyone. A fire ensued and everyone perished. The horror didn't end there though. Amid the shock of losing so many colleagues, I was forced under threat of being expelled from the University to help with identifying the bodies. There was nothing identifiable, nothing. All were burnt beyond recognition. I walked away in a state of shock and went home. I also dropped out of my Alma Mater. 5 years later I left the country. Im 63 now, and to this day, I have nightmares about fires. I also become absolutely incensed when I see the complacency and disregard of the greedy practices of choosing profit over safety. The Station Nightclub fire was a disgrace and those responsible will forever have blood on their hands. My heart goes out to every victim and survivor. You're all in my heart and in my prayers.
That is absolutely devastating. You have such good intuition and knowledge of safety. My heart aches that you lost your classmates so tragically after you did everything you could to prevent them from boarding that coffin on wheels, and that those scumbags forced you to see all of them like that... That is just vile. I'm so sorry. I send prayers and well wishes. I pray for their families, too, that are still feeling that loss.
@@shamadayart thank you for your kind words. The worst part of the whole ordeal was that there were no consequences paid. After all, a communist military truck was involved and only God knows if there was a high ranking officer who was drunk behind the wheel. I dropped out of med school a year later and in 2 more years I left the country. But the memories never die.
I was supposed to be at that show with 4 friends but a schedule conflict came up and my friend didn't get the tickets, we all watched it on the news the entire next day in shock. I had nightmares for over a year
The fire made me more aware of my surroundings at a show. Sir my heart goes out to you and those who survived and their families. Your words I am glad didn't fall on deaf ears! Thank you Sir!
Thanks for putting this together. Such a great story of overcoming adversity. It’s important that we don’t forget what happened. It could have been any of us who listened to bands like that in 2003. A building burned down across from where I lived once. Nobody died but that coulda been me living there. Eventually we moved into the replacement building and it had sprinklers and fireproof doors. And my first thought was why that can’t be the standard everywhere? Why is a safe building an anomaly? Getting those sprinkler laws passed was huge. So many greedy and negligent business owners out there. I know some. All they care about is money. Short term profit. They don’t have the ability to consider that one mishap could wipe out everything they have and do worse to their patrons and staff. Getting this passed was a great service.
The safety of employees and customers should be the absolute highest priority of any business owner, and of city officials like fire inspectors. Huge respect for Mr. Feeney. The authorities would be wise to listen to him.
The Station Memorial is one of my favorite places to visit. The story touched me that morning and never left. I pray for everyone affected and lost in this horrible fire.
Thank you for your testimony before city council. The degree to which money trumps life and safety in this country would shock more people into community activism if they knew about it.
I wish the video of his speech in TN was still available. I had the opportunity to watch it a few years ago and it was very powerful. He didn't just start with the analogy of 3 minutes, he actually paused at a couple of points during that first three minutes to explain what was happening in the Station at that same time frame. It was super effective.
ROB: So sorry for your loss of such a beautiful woman... I can't even imagine what you have been going thru all this time... even if it was 20 yrs. ago. You were very fortunate to get out of there alive. I don't know if I could have handled losing my love all these years. You are an incredible and brave guy. I know it will probably never happen, but simply I would love to meet you, I'm not a weirdo, even if that means I'm not shy of saying I pray for these lost souls nearly every day. My heart aches for them. I live in MA and was there 2/20/23 to pay respects, I'm sorry for your loss Rob and I'm so sorry what you've been through. I have no words left now.
He is a brave man. His story is horrifying. He had turned his tragedy into something extremely positive! I am curious as to why this video left out how he escaped the club. It abruptly switches to the recovery right after feeling Donna' sneaker. That is a shame!
I cannot possibly imagine what he and the other victims went through, my mind can't grasp such tragedy. I only hope that important lessons have been learned and rules and regulations have been put in place. This should NEVER have happened,
What an Awesome testimony !! Thank You for being Brave enough to speak out about your injuries and you personal loss. May God continue to Bless your Life...
I‘m still deeply shocked and sad about what happened 20 years ago. I could easily have been one of the victims, as I love rock shows. Since 2003, I always check out emergency exits and have a plan, when I’m somewhere, even at work. Dear Rob, I‘m deeply sorry for your loss. I feel with everyone who lost loved ones in this awful fire. I hope, that every club owner will take responsibility and action, to prevent fires! My sincere condolences from Switzerland ⭐️🌈
That club was too small for pyrotechnics. And all that material used in the club was highly flammable as it was built in 1946, although renovated over the decades it was still made of wood. The exit routes for emergencies were totally useless. This is all public knowledge now. It should help preventing this from happening again. Rob is doing well all things considered.
This was a terrible horrific fire . Rob I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you had to endure because of this awful preventable tragedy at this Nightclub . God Bless You for your bravery 🕊️💐✝️🇺🇸🌸
I was born on February 12, 2003. This happened when I was 8 days old. It always stuck with me due to the sheer loss of life and the proximity to my date of birth. I was in North Carolina at that time, and of course I had no idea that we lost 100 innocent lives that day. Nobody in those families knew that eight days later their lives would change forever. For that reason I’ve studied it intensely. Being 20 years old now means it’s been 20 years since. RIP
I remember hearing about the Great White Club burning and people that died when this happened but there was no cellphone or smart TV, I did have a Laptop but didn't do much search, Now that is 20 years anniversary it popped out in my TV and I have been watching the videos and its the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. I see true crimes documentary but this one is awful and me liking Metal and Great White and seeing bands at clubs it really touches me. I remember seeing Great White only once in 1988 when they opened for Whitesnake.
Mr., sweet heart, she was the next matriarch but in the soul world before both your lives, she knew her fiancee - you - would one day have an extra special message to share with the world. Back then before the incident, could you perhaps envision Donna being an matriarchal angel? One who would agree to sacrifice her life so you could, in life, share this vital story?❤
umm no it was ULTIMATELY THE Fire MARSHALL OF WEST WARWICKS FAULT...why he's not in prison as in the first step...is beyond insane. I do not believe the owners had approved of the use of pyrotechnics/fireworks that night. Was any of that shit written in any sort of contract? DOUBTFUL. The fire inspector should be the absolute first one assigned to be in PRISON...STILL 20 YEARS LATER. That guy should have gotten LIFE.

@@kevaflores1476 Thank you very much for responding and supporting my opinion. My mind will never change on that one.

Also, it's very surprising the families and area residents or even those of the entire State, had not assembled in a protest or 'worse' (if you get my drift) over the blatant murder of 100 innocent, helpless souls and injury of dozens and dozens of others. Again the whole thing is ridiculous, preposterous not to mention unimaginable.
The real lesson is the longer one follows some drughead pied piper, you will eventually have to pay their price of fire 🔥 and brimstone. JR/GW never even apologized for his wanton carelessness Thank you for what you do. There is no amount of money that can pay for a lost soul. May they never be forgotten.
Anyone know which Station door they got out of? Maybe a window? Doesn’t seem like they would’ve made it thru the front door which was fully jammed after a minute.
They left through the stage door. The exit the bouncer refused to let customers leave from claiming it was for 'band members only'. That bouncer cost people their lives.
@@JJ-iq8mi "that bouncer" also lost his wife in the fire- he was doing his job at first- nobody had any idea how bad it was, or would be, it literally burned to the ground in under 2.5 minutes. There was no conceivable way anyone could have known how bad it would be. Maybe don't comment on things you did not experience or know about. "That bouncer" lives with his choice every day.
Feeney got out through one of the 3-4 windows broken in the NE corner of the atrium. Most survivors of the atrium got out the one panel running North-South next to the stairs that were next to the front door. That was kicked out by survivor Brian O’Donnell at the same time as West Warwick PO Mark Knott hit it with his asp baton. That particular window had been replaced several years earlier with a single thick pane of glass that was cheaper than putting in the double-thermal pane glass to match the others. Why? A paraplegic who used hand controls on his car lost control one night and his car damaged the front of the building. Also-several people escaped through the lower metal panel in window #4 (left to right). That’s the one Butler used his left foot to dislodge, as seen in his video. No one appears to have gotten out any of the windows west of that.
I don’t understand why anyone would let some punk cock-bag put his hands on their girlfriend and then say the exit can’t be used…..in a life threatening situation. And it wasn’t just him - other people say they were told they couldn’t use the exit. Why would you accept that?? If fire and smoke are approaching then there’s no way I’d let him tell me I could use the exit and thankfully at least one dad pushed past him after being told not to use it. He got himself and his family out after basically telling Vieira to go eff himself.
Exactly 💯! Just because something happens in One State doesn't mean it's going to happen in the Other States, people should mind their own damn Business and stop screwing around with other States !! Each State has their own Laws,Rules and regulations, don't You be sticking Your nose into other State's Business.
Doesn't look like it. At least for buildings that have no federal use. Building codes, which determine what types of buildings require sprinkler systems are usually left to local jurisdictions. Unfortunately, it's a money issue and people who have money will lobby against having to spend their own money even if it saves the lives of their customers and the firefighters who have to go in and rescue them.

Do not forget the Club 5-7 fire on Isere, France on November 1st, 1970. Equal to The Station fire
Mine too.
After watching the recording of the fire and reading “Killer Show,” I always look for emergency exits.
I will always have a plan.
I'm from Chattanooga so, I wanna say thank you & I'm so sorry for your loss!!! God Bless You🙏

Absolutely horrific, a brave man that somehow survived an event which killed most of the victims in 90 seconds.
This story reminds me of the happy land social club fire in nyc 1989
...and it repeats again as in Mexico, Thailand, Argentina...
What a shame for the owners ! ☝️👎😠
