As the long-awaited dance competition draws to a close, flames and smoke are spotted in the west alcove at about 1.40am and the nightclub turns into an inferno within minutes. Survivors recount horror tales of desperate attempts to escape through locked emergency exits and vain attempts to search for missing friends as Ireland’s worst fire disaster unfolds around them.
