Club Kitty was a nightclub located in the basement of an old warehouse in Los Angeles, California, in Final Destination: Dead Reckoning. The club was run by a Hispanic man and was in a state of severe disrepair. During a concert in the summer of 2004, the club collapsed as a result of a structural fire, killing at least 31 people within it.
Disaster
Tipped off that a drug deal was going to happen in the club, off-duty police officer Marina Hewlett breaks in by shooting the lock off a back door. The bullet goes through the door and into the floor of the old warehouse above the club, damaging some wires, which ignite the insulation. As the fire spreads, the integrity of the building is compromised, more so than it should be, due to a wall (which helped support the upper floor) originally located in the basement having been removed some time ago.
Premonition
During the Vipers' performance, large cracks begin to form throughout the walls and ceiling. Eventually, a girder falls from the ceiling and impales Tony, killing him instantly. After everyone notices the ceiling is pointing downwards, the crowd begins to panic and rushes to the exits. The bouncer, Sebastian Lebecque, tries to guide the audience to the fire escape, only for the ceiling above him to fall in, crushing him along with other people and blocking the main entrance. The ceiling continues to fall, crushing multiple people, including Cassie. Another girder falls from the ceiling and crushes multiple people, including Amber, Heather, and Charlie Delgado. An explosion occurs, launching a drumstick into Marina's chest, killing her. A third girder crashes into the bar, killing the bartender and a waitress named Macy. The remaining people then try to escape through the locked fire escape. Meanwhile, Ben is struck in the head by a slab of concrete. Managing to break through the window, Eric Prescott attempts to escape, only for the doorframe to collapse, slicing him in two. More people, including Becci, are then crushed underneath more fallen debris. During the chaos, Jamie is struck off the gantry by a chunk of concrete, and another girder falls from the ceiling and crushes Jessica "Jess" Golden.
Real Life
After witnessing the premonition, Jess freezes in the middle of her performance and later begins to freak out, attempting to direct the crowd outside before the collapse happens. Despite Tony dragging her behind the set to try to calm her down, she still can't shake the feeling out of her head, and the manager is forced to have the bouncer escort her out. On her way out, another group of civilians decides to leave due to the stir. Minutes later, the club collapses as she predicted.
Signs/Clues
- On her way to the club, Jess spots a homeless man nearby, doing his own spastic dance. Jess and the other survivors of the collapse would have several more encounters with this vagrant, who is implicated as having foreseen the club collapse along with Jess.
- Jess hears the song "When Will We Fall Down?" on the PA system of the nightclub entrance.
- While waiting in line to get into the club, Jess notices the "Enter Here" sign above the entrance has been defaced, with "Abandon fate, all ye who" having been scrawled on top of the sign.
- Inside the club, Jess is approached by Ben, who comments on how lame the club is. Jess agrees, responding that taking TNT to the place and completely demolishing it would be an improvement.
Aftermath
In the beginning of Destination Zero, newswritter Patricia Fuller of the Borderlines Patrol had covered the details of the disaster as she and her team were unable to contact Jessica, who was disappeared from existence.
