As part of the Giveaway-for-best-song, I want to bring to your attention the story of the most tragic event in Romania.

The Colectiv nightclub fire was a fire in Bucharest, Romania, on 30 October 2015, which killed 64 people and injured 146. The nightclub fire was caused by a fireworks accident, being the deadliest in Romanian history. It occurred during a free concert performed by the romanian metalcore band Goodbye to Gravity to celebrate the release of their new album, Mantras of War.

The entire Goodbye to Gravity band died then (except the lead singer which suffered severe wounds). With them dozens of fans, mostly teenagers.

The club's main shareholder and co-founder, together with other associates were arrested on 2 November for negligent homicide, negligent bodily harm, and negligent destruction.

The city mayor was accused because he allowed the club to operate without the necessary fire permits.
As a result of the massive protests that followed the fire, the Romania government resigned on 4 November 2015.

Their most famous song will remain in the souls of all Romanians. I invite you to listen to.
