A FORMER STARDUST doorman has told an inquest that there was a practice of looping a chain around the bars of exit doors after unlocking them to “trick” people into believing the doors were still locked.
Continuing his evidence today, Kenny confirmed to Des Fahy KC that he received no safety training or training in the event of a fire emergency. “This was a practice that created catastrophic outcomes around exits four and five. We estimate the bodies of 22 of the victims were found in a parabola around exits four and five,” said Fahy.Fahy asked him if there was any system whereby someone would check that he had opened the doors as directed, and the witness replied that there was not.
“I didn’t know there was any investigation going on. I didn’t think drinking was appropriate, so I didn’t drink,” replied Kenny.
