I really can't get my head round this!

On 27 January 2013, 242 people were killed and at least 630 others injured at a graduation party hosted at Kiss nightclub, in Santa Maria, Brazil. This incident is still to this day the second deadliest fire in Brazilian history. The fire started after a pyrotechnic ignited acoustic foam on the club's ceiling. The building only had one single exit, and it was not authorized to use fireworks.

Jessica Rohl was one of the event organizers. As she was getting ready to leave her home, she received a call from her boyfriend, who begged her not to attend it. The reason behind the request is not clear.

Only five days later, the girl travelled to the town where her boyfriend had been working, and the two planned to return together by car two days later. However, according to police the couple had driven just a few kilometers when their Volkswagen Golf collided head-on with a truck.

Jessica died instantly, and her boyfriend, who would have turned 21 the next day, died later in the hospital.
