Oakland Ghost Ship death trap

No hard to figure out how this happened. Illegal housing. No fire inspections. Owner of the building should be arrested. City of Oakland negligence.

Everyone wins. Until a problem occurs. Typical graft system.

Looks really clean for Hippie Hive.

Did the building's owner consent to having this rave take place on his property? If not, then why should he be liable?

Very cool place.......if it was a barn on private property that didn't have electricity and only you used it. You can tell a lot of talented arty, naive people decorated that, but the fact that many people were in there is criminal.

Big question is why the city of Oakland didn't inspect and close the parties down. They had to know what was going on there. The owner and idiot that was leasing it should be charged criminally.

How many people? I just saw a bunch of pics of stuff.

It wasn't only the party. There were multiple people using that as an apartment too and no fire suppression system at all. Even and empty warehouse should have smoke detectors and a fire alarm.

Sounds like The Station disaster all over again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_nightclub_fire

Don't remind me-I am from there.

Used to go there (under other names).

Know many who were involved/affected.

Go by the site every time I visit my sister/brother-in-law.

So tragic.

Can't even imagine what families are dealing with waiting, but at the same time knowing.

Hey give the city a break, man. They're very busy determining which laws to enforce and which ones to ignore. The end justifies the means.

The space, which was also known as Satya Yuga, was run by Derick Ion, who lived there on the second floor with his wife, Micah Allison, and children, who were staying at a hotel during the Friday event. In a Facebook post Friday night, Ion wrote, “Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound.”

Poor guy, how can those dead 'folks' ever make this up to him?

Oh well, at least they had 0bamacare.

My condolences to the families and friends.

Looked like an innocent place for the young crowd, I think there's a facebook with missing victims.

I think one site had an image of the "F-word" set on fire?

Conjecture of the picture is legit.

Golden Donna was one of the performers who made it out. Her mixes are youtube, not too bad.
