These are so fascinating! My former neighbor owned the Brass Ass.... I wonder if he was involved in mob activity! So fascinating, especially bc I grew up in Ft Wright/Covington and remember a lot of these fires happening as a kid
Two consistent things about criminals cleaning up after major crimes: they are not very bright, and they are lazy. It is HIGHLY likely that all the evidence is still on site. The site was bulldozed, but it was not cleared. The site today is covered with debris. It would need a major archeological dig, that would take about a year.
I worked with my dad & Uncle doing property maintenance a few years after the fire. The super club was gone at that point. You could still see foundation bricks. There was a house on the property with a family living in it. At the beginning of the driveway leading to the housr there were 2 decorative houses made from stone. There was also a Quonset hut at the far end of the huge parking lot. Inside the hut there were all sorts of papers tossed all over the floor. Personal credit card receipts, bills, etc. there were also metal desks in file cabinets. In the lower level of the hut there were a bunch of mannequins in various stages of disrepair. While we were working on the property they brought up a bunch of booths, tables, dishes, kitchen equipment, etc to be auctioned off. You could still smell the smoke on all of the things. You could also see smoke damage on them, & melting in areas. The smell over the property was horrid. Even before they brought the merchandise for auction. That land should be left untouched and a monument to the lives that were lost there.
Excellent presentation. One thing though, concerning what was said at about 25:30. Bobby Kennedy used an open car during his 1968 Presidential campaign, a 1968 Imperial.
The "Station" fire in Warwick Rhode Island, was not a mob hit. The enter sequence of events that represented the beginning of the Station Night Club Fire, were caught on video for the world to see. Pyrotechnics that were part of the band performance, ignited flammable acoustic foam, stage left... and the fire RAPIDLY grew from there. Within 5 minutes, they had a holocaust on their hands.
@@Zickcermacity the owners of the Station nightclub (The Derderians) had the club sold. The new owner had the cashiers check prepared. The sale was scheduled for the next week so your hypothesis is incorrect.

Pike Street Building Explosion...
Peter, in all the FOYA info, did you see anything about Jack Ruby and William H Door?
My neighbors mom worked there and I met him the first day of kindergarten right after it happened in 1977 she was OK
Hello, can you tell us more about how it was back then
Did you explore the story of the BH employee whose son was kidnapped and later found dead in the swimming pool?
Jason Evers?
The Mob most definitely torched the place
Nope
I wonder if they removed the basement or just buried it with other debris.

Sheez! A club fire a year?
Could the Grove(1942) and Rhode Island(Feb. 2003) have been mob hits also?

@@gwencrawford737 Maybe not a mob job then, but the owners sure were itching to be rid of it

NO THEY BOTH WERE NOT
Were the mason's involved??
Did the mason's ever have any involvement with the club?
