Several families whose loved ones died or were injured while trying to escape a smoked-filled Bronx apartment building are suing the building owners, alleging safety violations that led to the wrongful deaths of 17 people, including 8 children.
While the fire damaged only a small part of the building, it produced black, caustic smoke that quickly engulfed the complex. The suffocating smoke rose through a stairwell of the 19-story building and killed people as they attempted to flee.
Several relatives of the fire victims spoke at the news conference to express frustration over the uncertainties spawned by the fire as they look for new places to live. Some remain in hotel rooms. “We need justice for the families that lost people, as well as the other tenants in the building. We’re all victims to what happened here,” Janneh said.
But another attorney for the families, Larry Goldhirsch, said those specifics will be identified in the coming weeks — including malfunctioning door springs and windows that could not open.
