New York is not Kemerovo: how dead firefighters are seen off on their last journey in the USA

Everything is now just write about fire in Kemerovo, but I can not. I can not get into someone else's grief with their unnecessary empty words to no one. Everything that is connected with the tragedy itself and the reaction to it is so terrible that I can only be silent and condolent, writes on your site blogger Samsebeskazal.

Despite the relentless pain, life goes on and you need to write about something, tell something. I will lay out some photos from our everyday life, connected with the tragedy of the fire too. A few days ago there was a fire on a film set in Harlem, as a result of which a house completely burned down and a New York fireman died. Fortunately, no one else was hurt. The other day was a funeral.

Traditionally, all call-free firefighters go on the route of the funeral procession, stand along the road and pay tribute to the fallen comrade. They are joined by police and other special services. A motorcade with dozens of motorcyclists, police cars and fire trucks headed for Fifth Avenue towards the Catholic Cathedral of St. Patrick. Services also took place in other churches of the city.

At that moment I was in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Harlem and at first did not even understand what was happening. At 12, the clocks began to hit all the bells, and a troop of police helicopters began to fly in circles over Central Park.

The mayor of the city, officials, thousands of employees of the fire and police departments, as well as ordinary New Yorkers came to Fifth Avenue. The death of an ordinary firefighter or policeman is always a tragedy and the honors they receive at farewell are comparable only to the funerals of presidents, military leaders or very high-ranking politicians.

Here is the tuple that accompanies the car with the body of the deceased firefighter.

PS One of the most serious fires in New York also happened on March 25, but in 1911. Then, during a fire at the Triangle garment factory in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, 146 workers were killed, who were unable to escape from the upper floors of the burning building due to locked and blocked exits. The owner of the factory, responsible for the deaths, got away with paying minor compensation to the families of the dead workers and did not really suffer any punishment.

Fortunately, proper conclusions were drawn from the tragedy, which led to the creation of a “Committee on Public Safety”. Its members inspected a number of New York enterprises and introduced a bunch of laws that changed the approach to workers' safety. As a result, regulations appeared that obliged building owners to have fire escapes (which were previously only in residential buildings), fire extinguishers, hydrants, fire alarms, and so on. Thanks to all these measures and strict control over their implementation, the fire at the Triangle factory was the last major fire in the history of the city with so many human victims.
