After a performing artist juggling flaming sticks threw them too high, the ceiling of the Russian night club caught fire, and soon engulfed the wooded walls of the structure. At least 109 people died of smoke inhalation, or were trampled in the rush of the club guests to escape. Another 130 were injured in the disaster, which occurred on Friday night. (CNN)
