Spectacular footage of the Rhode Island nightclub fire in which 100 people died may have been obtained by a television cameraman who blocked an exit while filming, thereby preventing patrons from fleeing. Families of survivors have reached a $30-million settlement with the station, WPRI-TV, its owners, LIN-TV, and the cameraman, Brian Butler, the Boston Globe reported Saturday. Butler had strenously denied the charges. Ironically, Butler had been filming a report on nightclub safety at the time the fire broke out. Even more ironically, his footage is being used by other plaintiffs in lawsuits against the owners of the nightclub, who include Jeffrey Derderian, a reporter for WPRI-TV.

CORRECTION:
In Friday's edition we erroneously identified the British soap opera EastEnders as an ITV program. It is broadcast by the BBC.
