2 posts in this topic

October 17, 2016 is the 50th Anniversary of the 23rd St Fire in New York City.

 

 Fifty years ago on October 17, 1966, TWELVE New York City Firefighters lost their life operating at a building fire at 23rd St and Broadway in Manhattan. It was the largest loss of firefighters until the World Trade Center Attack on 9/11/01.

 

 Here is a member of the FDNY who was there and talks about that tragic night.

For some reason, I've never heard of this fire before. Very interesting.
