A typical Manhattan family were trapped in their apartment on the 20th floor of there building from a fire. The article tells us how the fire had began and how the family couldn't get out because the hallways were filled with smoke and fire. Thank God, that everyone was safe. A few years ago there was a fire right across the street from where I live. A 11 year old boy had died from, the lungs breathing in to much smoke and gas. personally i knew the family, it was actually one my friends from school, apparently he was asleep and the fire had broken out from the stove releasing gas in the air. it was a sad memory for the town of waukegan. The article explained, how all the families on the 20th floor were trying to escape all the smoking that was coming at them and for them to inhale it, by standing outside on their porches. Stories like these, leave a scare because accidents can be deadly and theirs always a family member that dies in these type of situations. If you were ever in one of these positions, you just have to have the general knowledge of knowing your escape route and helping others get out go the building . I like reading this articles because, these are the types of situations that i have to deal with for my career because i wanna be a crime scene investigator, therefor i have to know if it was an accident or if someone purposly meant to start this fire.
