I carefully listened to the witnesses. I heard of the horrifying thick black smoke. In this day and age of finding fault and fixing blame the media must take all witnesses statements into account before blaming their predetermined target. Certainally a tragic loss of life. Personaly I want the media to listen to the people and the fact that there was no white smoke.
Space heaters cause fires every year.
I'm an electrician. People need to be careful with space heaters. Keep them away from anything flammable.
They use a lot of power so don't plug them into an outlet or extension cord with other things plugged in.
And like any electrical appliance, have it repaired or replaced when it gets old or worn. A situation like this costs a lot more than a new heater or a repair job. How much is your life or that of your family worth?
Electricity is generally safe, but you have to pay attention and have a minimum understanding.
A little awareness can save lives and avert tragedy.
:56 That's why it happened. Lack of maintenance, neglect, and the mindset that poor people, predominantly black, do not need basic protections like public building upgrades. But you know what they really need, political speeches. I saw politicians in this video ready to give condolences and remind the now homeless to vote for them or else the others will be in power. Total garbage.
.. Incendio inducido… GUERRA DE RAZAS?…. BLANCOS VS NEGROS… LA PRENSA EUA ESCONDE LOS HECHOS.
Condolences and prayers for all the families affected by this horrific event!!

Right from the outset Condolences to all the victims and their families. Basically what a shocking surprise there’s a building fire in America so what do the American firefighters do… all stand around doing absolutely nothing while one firefighter goes up one ladder!. Sure the firefighters do the job for the right reasons, they care and I don’t blame them I blame their p1ss poor training!. Yet again like literally countless other videos on here this scenario just would not happen in the U.K. they’d be multiple ladders up everywhere and literally every firefighter n scene would be running and acting with urgency. Apart from the ones on the Aerial ladders, the ones controlling the fire pumps/fire engines, those commanding and keeping check of how many are in the building/air time remaining etc. If those firefighters had better training it’s acceptable to say it’s realistic to predict less people would have died and been seriously injured!.
Absolutely horrifying. Sending love from Australia to the victims and people of New York.
This should have never happened to these poor people
i'm glad that ICE is going to protect themâ¤ï¸Â
these families need to start legal proceedings after the landlord who hasn't given them heat and probably no hot water either
so sorry for your loss âœÂï¸Â
Nitrogen stops our atmosphere at around 80% from burning yet the oxygen around 20% makes things burn. Water destroys almost everything in a sprinkler system. At what percentage oxygen to nitrogen would a fire burn out quickly? Could this information be used to figure out a new kind of fire extinguishing system?
Condolences and prayers for all the families affected by this horrific event!!
My condolences to those family as first responder..😢 at this point every building should be mandatory to check those fire alarm by the super and give out free fire extinguisher, plus remind people what to do in this cases .
Slowly turns head to look at space heater 👀
HA HA HA HA NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH ..WHAT WITH THE 9999 CABAL BULLOCKS
This is tragic but it is nice that they came up with the cause quickly and malfunctioning electric space heater. That's why you always need to unplug those things before walking away from them, those are notorious fire starters, particularly older electric space heaters. Sorry to all those injured and to the loved ones of those lost or in this tragedy.
It's not what happens to you in life that matters, it's how you react to it; you can turn a good situation into a bad one, or you can turn a horrible situation into a good one, it's all up to you.
Stay safe people: carbon monoxide poisoning from using camping stoves, camping heaters, etcetera or using the oven in the kitchen to stay warm can kill you as well; carbon monoxide is no joke it's a silent killer. Proper ventilation is needed that's why the oven and stove have a vent.
This is clearly God's punishment for sin, so sad!
That building looks like a jail
condolences to the believed families, may God comfort them and strengthen them, it is well
thanks to the fire fighters team for there quick response
Absolutely horrifying. Sending love from Australia to the victims and people of New York.
Condolences to all the victims of this horrible 😢 ðŸâ€Â¥Ã°Å¸Å¡â€™ fires in the The Bronx NY 🕊ï¸Â
One dumbass who doesn't know how to properly use a space heater just killed 19 people smfh
Praying for all family. ðŸ˜ÂðŸ˜Â😠from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
2022 ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ Lord be with us all ….
Pray for all the victims from Japan, in my country, actually arson is a severe crime as the criminal theoretically might be sentenced the death penalty even if there's no victim. This is one of the harshest crimes along with murder because fire is absolutely dangerous and has the potential to harm or kill plenty of people at a time.
Russians or Trumps fault, not sure who wait for CNN to tell us
Sending condolences to all the families affected 🧡 stay strong! Love from Indonesia
Sending prayers and healing from India to all who sufferedðŸ™Â
No fire escapes? Remember apartment/project dwellers: You are only as safe as the stupidest tenant. They should sue those responsible & city employees PERSONALLY, not the city itself from city funds & tax dollars.
Why did you all vote for him as mayor? I'm BLK and this guy does not need to be mayor. Already hiring his family for high positions. He can't even speak right
CNN blaming Trump for this not the blue state shithole.
It’s amazing how quickly they were able to determine the cause v
Sincere condolences from Malaysia.
They city should be sued. Why is there no fire escape? That should be illegal?
ABC News removes any comments they don't agree with.
Here a idea maybe you should not make apartments so dam high that people can't get out there no reason for it I would think the stupid government would reliazed this since 9/11
Heart goes out to the poor souls that where in that building
لا ØÂول ولا قوة الا بالله
Condolences n prayers to the people and their families
Huh?
What about all the confetti falling and the New Years Eve ball dropping on New Years?
Oh, yeahhhh. For rich people. For people who dont need a space heater to stay warm.
Prayers and condolences
Are we sure it wasn't covid relaleted?
Don’t want to hear the shitty comments. Landlords need to give us heat. City should work something out with landlord. When I wake up at night I feel like I am sleeping at the street corner because sometimes the cover will come off me. I sleep with a down comforter and a blanket with other blankets around the bed. When I wake to use the bathroom, I freeze my ass off that quick. More will die. Do something. I had bought a heater and it stopped working in less than one month. I sometimes use thee oven. I think of my building catching a fire all the time. More …..
Very old buildings needs to be demolished for fire safety. No sprinklers, no fire escape stairs and no fire extinguishers. Fire codes needs to be taken seriously.
"19 dead"
"19 floors"
"333 east"
"9" children dead
"jan 9"
"covid 19"
181 street… 18+1=19 —>east
#Coincidence NAH… #JustReality
Tell landlords to give us heat. More of these fires will happen. If landlords give heat there is no need for space heaters or to use ovens to heat your apartment.
I am heartbroken. I have no words
