Hartford Circus Fire book trailer Final Edit

I am reading this book, and it opens this entire event up. Usually all we hear is about the fire and the number of those killed. This book takes you beyond facts. Witness accounts, victims accounts, how the people in the neighborhood handled it, how because of WWII and the threat of Colt or Pratt and Whitney being bombed the City of Hartford had developed an emergency disaster response plan and it worked. This book takes you into the tent, onto the grounds, into the streets, private cars, company delivery vans, the hospitals and the morgue. This book brings the entire event to life in all its pain the day brought, from the good deeds to the not so good. But all in all, a day of people helping people and people unable to help who had to stand and watch.

There was a comment made by a witness to the fire at the time " How horrible it was to hear the screams and sounds of the animals dying in the tent". Except, no animals died in the tent, The sound was of Humans trampling each other, falling and injuring themselves, fighting for survival and roasting alive. It was the non Human sound of humanity in death.
