Ozone Disco Club Fire: Ozone Disco Tragedy-Pile of Charred Dead Bodies Located Near The Door Way

The Ozone Disco club fire in the Philippines in 1996 was the worst fire in the country's history. The fire started at the DJ booth around 11:35 pm and quickly spread due to flammable interior materials and a lack of fire exits, signs, and working extinguishers. Over 160 people died, many of them piled up at the main entrance, as the door could only be opened by pulling rather than pushing and patrons pushed against it trying to escape the large fire. The disco owners were charged for the negligence that led to the high death toll.
