The infamous Derderian brothers, Michael and Jeffrey were sentenced to 4 years in jail and 500 hours of community service respectively. In 2000, the Derderians installed a foam polyurethane to deaden sound. In February of 2003, the foam ignited during a concert involving indoor fireworks.

Jeffrey stated "There are many days I wish I didn't make it out of that bulding.....I know many of you would have liked if I had died too," refering to the pain he caused to the 100 people's who had died families that winter night in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
