    The Station is a nightclub that burned down in 2003, killing 100 people inside from the fire and the resulting stampede.

    The entire fire was videotaped by a cameraman. Quoting from wikipedia:

    The fire, from its inception, was caught on videotape by cameraman Brian Butler for WPRI-TV of Providence, and the beginning of that tape was released to national news stations. Butler was there for a planned piece on nightclub safety.

    This documentary recounts the story. It is disturbing and it's one of the most personally-influential documentaries I've watched.
