Minutes Before the Santika Nightclub Fire Bangkok Thailand Dec 31 2008

from the author
"As the title says minutes (11:44pm) before the fire started. You can see how packed the club was. The fire started on the top ceiling part of the stage and then rapidly spread in less then 4 minutes then the light went out and the ceiling dome fall. The heat was unbearable along with the smoke.

From what I know my brother and I were the only US citizens that attended the event.

My brother Maytee Steven Garpot is currently in ICU in Bangkok being treated for his burns and inhaling the smoke. I will go in detail about his condition and both our stories later."
