"A fire swept through a Friday night birthday party at a bar in the Normandy city of Rouen, killing at least 13 people and injuring six others, French authorities said."

Terror? Accident?

No way to tell these days.... Sad thing to hear

"The fire was allegedly caused by an accidental explosion on site, RT reports and authorities expect the death toll to rise."

Yeah "accidental". It wouldn't surprise me if it was a terrorist attack.

Don't terrorists usually go for something a bit bigger than a random birthday party, and with means a bit more dramatic than a fire started in the basement? The linked article almost makes it sound like the people only died because nobody noticed the fire in time.

I mean, maybe it's part of some new "anywhere two or more are gathered..." kind of terrorism, but based on what the Mirror's reporting, it seems far more likely that this is just a tragic accident.

Appears to be accidental. These days you never know.

Prayers for the victims and their families.

Yes prayers towards them. Like I said tho you never know these days.

Sounds like the same deadly plastic foam used in sound booths was on the walls and ceiling. The Station Club fire in RI that killed so many had this same stuff on the ceiling.

Ironic as it sounds apparently the birthday cake was lit up stairs and and was brought down the only exit stair where the person tripped with the cake, lighting this material on the walls which then caught fire blocking the only exit out of the basement bar.

RIP
