That makes sense to me.  Yesterday, the media appeared to want to quickly
jump to the conclusion that only the band was to blame.  Today, a former
club employee is quoted as saying that pyro had been used at the club in the
past.  That brings into question that repeated statements that the pyro was
used without the permission or knowledge of the club.
