Stupidly, the San Francisco Chronicle with its web page SF Gate should have covered this major tragedy and didn't until 8 am when the entire country had covered it. Typical of the mindset of the SF Chron in recent years. From SF Gate : At least nine people were killed and a total of 25 people were unaccounted for after a fire broke out at a party at an artist collective in Oakland, authorities said. The fire broke out late Friday night at 31st Avenue and International Boulevard, north of Interstate 880, in the Fruitvale neighborhood. “We’ve done a preliminary search and we are up to nine known fatalities,” said Oakland Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed, who responded to the scene. “There’s still a still a lot of the building that needs to be searched.” The Latest: Official says 9 dead in fire at warehouse party As the fire engulfed the massive building, people streamed into the street outside. The roof collapsed, and firefighters had difficulty getting inside. On social media, friends of the victims and the many missing partygoers desperately sought information. Authorities were asking those who had information about missing people to contact the Alameda County coroner’s office and in some cases relay details. “Right now there’s 25 names of people that have not been accounted for,” said Deloach Reed. “We’re not sure if they have already self-transported to the hospital or they have gone to friend’s home. We’re not sure.” The rave party was scheduled from 9 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday, and dozens of people were inside when the fire exploded. Deloach Reed said most of the people who died were on the second floor, which was accessible by a “makeshift stairwell.” There was no evidence of a sprinkler system, she said. “We know it was going to be difficult if it started anywhere near that stairwell,” the chief said of efforts to flee and attempts by firefighters to rescue people. It was not immediately clear what ignited the fire or where exactly it started, the chief said. She said a multiagency task force was gathering to investigate the fire and take up the task of recovering victims. “The building is a huge building,” Deloach Reed said. “There’s going to have to be a methodical way we go about body recovery, and then also trying to find out where the fire started and how the fire’s spread took place. ... We have not done a complete search of the building.” As she spoke, the building was scarred by black burn marks. Firefighters were on a portion of the roof examining the damage. No firefighters have been reported injured. On a Facebook page associated with the building, people posted names of friends that were unaccounted for, hoping to hear good news. One message said, “Prayers to all the beautiful people lost in this fire, and prayers for the ones who have survived.” A party listing detailed musical acts and deejays. It said a “secret East Oakland location” was to be be announced on the same day as the event. Tickets were $10 before 11 p.m., and $15 after that. The fire chief said the scope of the fire was only just beginning to be fathomed, and that it represented a tragedy for many families. “It’s going to hit the city, its going to hit our organization, to have an incident of this type, of this magnitude,” she said. “It’s just going to be hard on everyone.” Videos on You Tube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsFWKPPws_k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0M_Z2Ybms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xROQlY2XCCY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDxjbZPxaYk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK5JdzfBaMo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpFvN4ApIfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFYWADS91lU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn4pd6VZRgs http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/At-least-9-dead-many-missing-in-fire-at-Oakland-10689139.php DJ " GOLDEN DONNA " Joel Shanahan is missing and unaccounted for as the missing toll rises to 25 in this tragic club & warehouse fire.
