New video: Firecracker triggered deadly Goa nightclub blaze, 25 killed

• A new video shows an electronic firecracker triggered a deadly blaze at Goa's Romeo Night Club, killing 25 people.
• Sparks from the firecracker ignited the club's bamboo-lined ceiling, causing the fire to spread rapidly due to flammable materials.
• Most victims died from suffocation and inability to escape due to blocked exits and the club's small doors.
• The nightclub operated without a mandatory fire department No Objection Certificate (NOC) and failed to follow basic safety rules.
• Club managers have been arrested, an FIR registered against owners and event organizers, and three government officials suspended.
