Episode Summary

Speedle and Delko are present when a trendy nightclub catches fire, apparently from a DJ's pyrotechnics display, killing sixteen people and injuring dozens of others. But the ensuing investigation reveals it may have been arson to cover up a murder. Meanwhile, Horatio probes the death of a prostitute whose body is found in the bathroom of a judge's home and evidence suggests that she was in the club during the fire.moreless

    Two CSI's, Delko and Speedle, were trapped in a night club fire and must try to escape. That is such great drama. Alot of people were killed in that fire from different things like fire burning or smoke inhalation or somthing else but im not sure wut it could be. But its amazing how some alcohol could have cause special effect sparklers to catch the whole place on fire. Then Horatio is called to a Judges? home where he finds another person who was caught in the fire and went there to try and shake it off but then she started coughing and fell and hit her head in the shower. That brings the body count up one. But it is very cute. I really did enjoy this episode alot.moreless

    Club fire killed 16 and wounded 56 and was not an accident. Prostitute was at the club when the fire broke out. Club owner was also a pimp. Someone poured rum onto the curtains. Bartender found in an uncleared room. Someone started the fire to clear up a murder. Money found in club owners car. It was over 30 k. Someone killed man with believed to be a bottle. Bartender wanted to start a fire because he had been rejected from the fire department 3 times this year. Danny started the fire and the other bartender found out what he was doing.moreless

    The ninety-nine deaths of the 2003 RI nightclub incident
    mirrors the deaths of what this episode is about as there were both no water sprinklers.
    Ever since that incident happened, now there have been water sprinklers hopefully in all nightclubs to make sure that everybody gets out in one piece and alive hopefully!
