Kentucky nightclub fire leaves hundreds dead
A raging blaze swept the Beverly Hills supper club in Southgate Kentucky late last night killing at least 120 and trapping hundreds more. Fire Chief David Riesenberg said the scene was chaotic with bodies on the lawn and confined exits hampering rescue. John Davidson was scheduled to perform but was unharmed and helped pull people out while investigators hunted for a cause amid a second fire nearby at Duro Paper Co in Ladlaw.
