LAW & ORDERS14, E5
Blaze
Danzibar nightclub is packed and multiple generations of rock fans are on hand to see Wotan perform. They reached their peak in the early 1980's but still have a following. But a massive fire turns the evening into tragedy. Twenty-two patrons and the band's bassist are burned to death, and many others are injured. Wotan's trademark was pyrotechnics and even though they were in a smaller club, they insisted on performing their trademark flamethrower effects. Terry Connor, a.k.a. Wotan, the lead singer, claims he didn't know their contract for the club prohibited fireworks. Maxie Broome, their manager, claims they had performed the fire tricks the night before and no one said anything. Nick Stoller, who is in charge of the props, claims he checked everything and there's no way they caused the fire.
