| Description: | A 5-alarm blaze in New York city loft building becomes a grim ordeal when the back wall collapses, trapping four fire-fighters. Hundreds of volunteers battle against hope, clearing tons of debris by hand - still hoping after nearly three days for a one-chance-in-a-million miracle. Looks like the gates of hell just opened. MLS - Firemen and people running around seeing if they could help in anyway. MS - A blast of smoke. MS - Firemen working with a crane. MS - Something is tied on to the crane maybe a part of the building. MS - The building where the water has frozen. MSLU - The jaws of the crane taking down part of the building. CUS - Fireman and rescue worker looking up. Just the outside shell of the building standing. MS - Firemen and rescue workers going through the piles of the building. MS - Firemen standing on what's left of the second floor of the building. MS - Firemen with their hooks tearing out the burned pieces of the building. | |
