Musician Alex Teodorescu was at the Colectiv Club in the Romanian capital, Bucharest, when the fire broke out that killed 27 people and wounded scores more.<br /><br /> “I was near the door and I was among the first who got out. The others behind me started to get out burned, their skin was black,” Teodorescu told euronews.<br /><br /> As many as 500 young people were packed inside the Colectiv Club when a pyrotechnic display went tragically wrong.<br /><br /> The club quickly went up in flame and there was a crush as people rushed to escape.<br /><br /> Teodorescu said that reports that there was a blast at the club do not fit with what he witnessed.<br /><br /> “When they (people in club trying to get out) smashed the door, the fire became even bigger. There wasn’t any explosion, or at least I didn’t hear any explosion. <br /><br /> “I think that if there was an explosion many people would have died including me.”
