To be fair, it's not just the fact that they used fireworks, but they
didn't ask permission to do so and they didn't check to see if the
building was cleared for use of such devices. (It wasn't, in case you
couldn't guess.)
What's at fault here isn't the music or the art of rock 'n' roll, but
it does seem from what I heard that the band, as people, are primarily
responsible for the tragedy, due to irresponsibility. No one said they
shouldn't be able to use pyrotechnics in their act ever -- just not in
small confined spaces that are totally unsafe, without even asking
first.
