Te cuento algo Alexander: por estos lugares las diferencias sociales y las crisis han roto hasta tal punto el "acuerdo social" que todas las cosas se han vuelto precarias por la falta general de responsabilidad, de interés y respeto por el "otro", si a esto le sumás la corrupción de los políticos y la avidez de los poderosos, tenes el cuadro que lleva a algo como Cromañón...y fijate que es gente del público quienes irresponsablemente iniciaron el incendio de la discoteca lanzando bengalas.
Muere gente en las rutas porque se conduce mal y nadie respeta nada, se evaden controles, la mayoría de los vehículos de transporte son viejos o presentan fallas que se esconden...
Cada local bailable es una trampa por falta de rigurosidad, inversiones y controles y si no sucede otro desastre es por pura suerte...
El tren está en estado tan precario que las probabilidades de un accidente son altísimas y ni que decirte de los aviones, por darte algunos ejemplos...
Por esto te digo que yo pienso que hay una gran inconciencia o irresponsabilidad colectiva; sin dudas es a nuestros gobernantes a quienes les cabe la mayor responsabilidad porque los votamos para que nos proporcionen un mundo mejor, pero a los ciudadanos también nos toca y mucho!...
Un abrazo!

Que terrible y devastadora trajedia mi querido Gustavo. Tú has hecho un excelente trabajo ilustrando tu punto de vista (pov) en este muy triste asunto. Puedo imaginar el dolor, la pena que sufren estas pobres familias al perder sus seres queridos de forma tan innecesaria.. No que pueda existir una manera buena para amar los que los seres queremos. Me gusta la forma que adjeristes la palabra justicia sobre todo el marco, pues realmente enfatiza tus fuertes sentimientos. Me parece que no hay escape!! Que gran foto periodistica de la calle. Un gran abrazo mi querido amigo....:) Lin

inconciente colectivo o inocencia colectiva? yo diria mas bien inocencia colectiva, toda sur america, no tanto centro america, pero definitivamente sur america sufre de un exeso de inocencia colectiva, y una carencia de conciencia colectiva. Lo qeu sucedio en esa discoteca fue una atrocidad, no hay responsables, la palabra correcta es culpables. en fin, da rabia de solo recordar algunas de nuestras faenas historicas.

Uma fotografia forte, eu diria um excelente exemplo de fotojornalismo, buscando identificar e colocar na memória social um momento que não pode ser esquecido. Inusitado foi sua escolha de colocar a palavra "justicia" dando um ar mais dramático ao seu projeto. Parabéns pela criatividade.

República Cromagnon (Spanish for "Cro-Magnon Republic") is a nightclub in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
On 30 December 2004, a fire broke out in the club, killing 194 people and injuring 714 others. The venue was playing host to rock group Callejeros and around 3,000 people were in attendance. Speculation is that the blaze was started when a pyrotechnic flare (a popular device in New Year's Eve celebrations) was set off and ignited foam in the ceiling. The materials used in the building for decoration were inflammable: mostly wood, styrofoam, acoustic panels and a plastic net (a so-called media sombra). This plastic net was hung from the ceiling and caught fire first, melting into a rain of fire. In some parts of the building, teddy bear stuffing was used as a cheap alternative to wool fiber. The owner and the band's lead singer had told the patrons not to use flares inside the building.
Four of the six doors, some of which were fire exits, were wired shut so that "people would not enter without paying", according to mayor Aníbal Ibarra. Most of the victims died from inhaling poisonous gases, smoke and carbon monoxide, unlike most accidents of this kind, where most die from crushing or burning. Some small children and babies, kept in an improvised nursery operated in the ladies' washroom upstairs, were also killed in the fire.
Following the disaster, an Argentine judge issued a national and international arrest order against Omar Chabán, local businessman and owner of República Cromagnon and other nightclubs, including one called Cemento that had been closed by court orders many times before. Chabán was located at one of his houses in the neighbourhood of Montserrat and was arrested. Police are now seeking those responsible for setting off the flare. If they are found (some reports say they have already been identified and that they are children), then they could face eight to twenty years in prison.
On 20 December 1993, a fire at the nightclub Kheyvis caused the deaths of 17 teenagers and is believed to have been caused by the burning of furniture as a prank, although no one was charged with starting it. The Kheyvis fire led to tougher regulations, including mandatory emergency exits and extensive security inspections of existing nightclubs. Until the República Cromagnon fire, the Kheyvis fire was the worst nightclub tragedy in Argentine history.
President Néstor Kirchner decreed three days of national mourning, and city authorities forbade concerts and closed all nightclubs in Buenos Aires during the mourning period.

Cuántas marcas de dolor, impotencia y bronca!. Está bien que a los "culpables" se les aplique justicia, pero...todos los culpables???, quién calma el dolor de los que perdieron a un ser querido?...
Muy bueno tu homenaje a los inocentes!
