(Classic Rock) The Romanian president says safety regulations could have been ignored at a rock club where a fire killed 27 people on Friday. The blaze is believed to have started in Bucharest's Colectiv club when a pyrotechnic display set fire to the stage during a concert by local band Goodbye To Gravity.

Up to 400 people were in the club at the time and more than 140 people remain in hospital. A stampede started after the fire took hold and swept through the venue.

It is now thought that safety rules were not heeded, the BBC reports. President Klaus Iohannis - who declared three days of national mourning - says: "I am saddened, but also revolted that a tragedy of this scale could have taken place in Bucharest. We already have indications that the legal regulations had not been respected." Read more here.
