Reddit reviews The Circus Fire: A True Story of an American Tragedy

Thanks for this. Shame, look at all those young ages.

This could have been another Nightclub Fire™ or Hartford circus fire, not that it wasn't damaging enough as is.

The first video made it look a lot smaller and contained than the second. They extinguished it pretty quick, I thought; but the second video shows just what a massive fireball it really was.

What I'm guessing (and would love more info to be released about) is the nature of the powder was an important factor here. Looks like fog or mist you could breathe in, too. Shame, shame.

Ok. So not exactly crime in the sense you may be thinking , but this was a really interesting book.

It explains the fire , the reason so many were killed , how they treated those injured , the investigation

All very interesting things in the same vein as a lot of crime books.

Yesss! I love reading about old disasters. The Hartford Circus Fire of 1944 is one of my favorites (though obviously it was tragic). Stewart O'Nan wrote a fantastic book about it.
