It killed 36 of the 80-100 people attending a concert at the location, making it the deadliest fire in California since the blaze caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. This September, a jury acquitted one of two men believed to be responsible for the fire on involuntary manslaughter charges while the other’s case resulted in a mistrial.
“We believe that there is a conversation to be had about the propriety of telling the story of the Ghost Ship, and about the identity and moral responsibility of those who tell it, but clearly it’s not a conversation that can be conducted without causing further pain to the living victims of this tragedy,” Waldman said in additional tweets.
… clearly it’s not a conversation that can be conducted without causing further pain to the living victims of this tragedy.Waldman ended her statement saying the project has been halted at this time, so she and Chabon can “do our part to leave the families and survivors to their grief and their loss, in the fervent hope that someday they find not just comfort but also a measure of justice.”
