Description:
From a series of images culled by Borchers for a slideshow of her work. Camera caption: "Heidi Peralta the girlfriend of Ty Longley, guitarist for the band Great White, sobs as she arrives at the site of Thursday night's nightclub fire at The Station in West Warwick, RI. The chain-link fence has become a makeshift memorial at the site of Thursday's nightclub fire where the band Great White was playing. At least 97 people were killed. A continuous stream of mourners came by today to pay their respects and view the scene of the tragedy. The Station Club fire in West Warwick, which killed at least 96 and injured about 150, was believed to have been started when the band that was playing, Great White, set off pyrotechnics at the beginning of their performance on Thursday evening February 20, 2003."
