When the lights went out, panic broke out. Everyone rushed to the only known exit from the hall - the main exit, which was not fully accessible. People fell over each other and were scalded by the hot air. Among the fatalities of the fire were two people: 13-year-old Dominika Powszuk trampled by a fleeing crowd, and Sky Orunia TV operator Wojciech Klawinowski, who returned to the burning hall to carry TV equipment out of it.
