21 dead. A fight broke out, and the bouncers tried to use pepper spray to break it up. They were on the 2nd floor (which they weren't supposed to be, due to building code restrictions). There were an estimated 1500 people in the club, and only one way into and out of the club.
The place must not have been well-ventilated, because people started choking and gagging and running for the ONE exit.
Mayor Daley is going to have the balls of those club owners.
