OK...on a serious note here:
It's now confirmed that 96 people are dead as this tragedy continues.
For anyone who has done or still does radio, one of our colleagues is STILL Missing.
94 WHJY in Providence was one of the sponsors for this concert last night. One of their personalities "The Doctor" was the emcee and introduced the band. That was the last time anyone saw him.
At this time WHJY's website -
www.whjy.com - still presumes that he is missing, as there is no clear information available on his whereabouts.
Ironically, the TV footage you see of this horrible disaster was courtesy of WPRI television. Jeff Derderian, one of the owner's of the club, is also a reporter for WPRI and was doing a story with his camera crew on nightclub safety, following up from the tragedy in Chicago recently.
Let's keep these people, especially the victims, in our thoughts this weekend.
