Oakland fire victims’ texts to loved ones: ‘I’m going to die’
The fire spread so quickly Friday night that the victims attending the Oakland electronic music show — most of them in their 20s or 30s — had little time to react before they were overcome.
Witnesses said some were trapped on the second floor when the ramshackle wooden stairs became impassable because of fire.
