What was Oaklands Ghost Ship?

December 5th, 2016
In Oakland California a group of 36 artists lived in a a two story warehouse all together. The warehouse had many problems like, cramped spaces, a lot of fire hazards, and vast clutter. During a friday night party, a blaze of fire ended up happening then when everyone tried to leave in the single wooden staircase they had, people got stuck and the fire eventually grew bigger and bigger. Because the staircase was so small, most of them were not able to escape and ended up passing away. A lot of not very well known artists live in places like thesis because they are very affordable and they just need a roof over their heads.
This is a awful situation that happened and an awful way to die. Many of them just want to put their art of there in the world hoping to get noticed to move on into the big city and have their own exhibits and such. Now we will never know just how talented many of them could have been.
