Скачать или смотреть The Night New Year’s Never Came: The Iroquois Theatre Fire

On December 30, 1903, a New Year’s celebration in Chicago turned into one of the deadliest theater disasters in history.

The Iroquois Theatre was advertised as “absolutely fireproof.” Families believed they were safe. They weren’t.

When a spark ignited backstage scenery, panic spread faster than the fire. Exit doors were locked. Fire curtains failed. Stairwells became traps.

More than 600 people — mostly women and children — never made it out.

This tragedy reshaped fire safety laws worldwide, but only after irreversible loss.

This is a true story of ignored warnings, fatal decisions, and the cost of believing promises over preparation.
