Chicago nightclub tragedy
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Midwest/02/17/chicago.nightclub/index.html" target="_blank">21 die</a> in a nightclub stampede as people try to escape mace and pepper spray used by club security to stop a fight.
Apparently a few exits were locked or blocked.
Big mess, very sad.

I'm not entirely clear who it was that started throwing the pepper spray and Mace around (some reports say it was the bouncers?), but the management of any venue have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their patrons.
I hope the authorities throw the book at the club's owners.
