At least 19 people, including nine children, have died after a fire in a New York apartment building.
Another 32 people were sent to hospital, several of whom are in a critical condition, according to New York Mayor Eric Adams.
Fire department Commissioner Daniel Nigro said they had found victims on every floor of the 19-storey block, saying the smoke was "unprecedented".

I'm sorry to learn of the number of people killed and injured in the shocking fire in the Bronx today. That degree of smoke throughout a building should be impossible these days.

That building is a relic of the 1930s, I think. IT should have long ago been replaced.spot wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 3:37 pm I'm sorry to learn of the number of people killed and injured in the shocking fire in the Bronx today.
