The Boston Globe reported that a $30 million settlement has been reached between a Rhode Island TV station and plaintiffs in a lawsuit stemming from a 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire. Many other defendants remain. The lawsuit alleged that a cameraman, who ironically, was filming a segment about nightclub safety, blocked the exit as victims fled a fire that had been sparked by onstage pyrotechnics during a rock concert. The cameraman denied the allegation. According to the Boston Globe, 100 people were killed in the incident and over 200 hurt.
