For 19-year-old Marija Taseva and her sister, it was meant to be a fun night out to see hip-hop band DNK in the North Macedonian town of Kocani.
But it ended with her sister being killed and Marija barely escaping with her life, as a fire in the early hours of Sunday morning tore through the packed show at Club Pulse, leaving 59 people dead and more than 150 injured from burns, smoke inhalation and being trampled in the panicked escape for the building’s single exit.
