Yeah but in the end the 3 buildings all collapsed, the high pressure hoses can push a brick wall right it and it looks like it did in a couple places in the video, the loss of a bearing wall secion is all it takes to cause a collapse. The first building that collapsed was built ca 1865-1870
@@HobbyOrganist That's what they have to do. If you watch the other videos of it on here, the explosion and fire made the buildings dangerous unless they're demolished.
So, you watch a video of a fire, collapsed building, total loss, deaths and injured citizens and 'ALL FIREFIGHTERS ARE HEROS!" is your comment? What heroic action did you observe on the part of the NYFD? Showing up and doing their job?
My heart goes out to the families of the 2 lives lost...I was talking to my kid today about what a real life hero is...I told them it is someone that will jump in front of a stranger to save their life, run into a fire or dangerous area to try to save a life, or even risk their life just one day in their whole lifetime to save another person is a hero. There are no movies or comics for those people...because they don't care what others think, they just wake up and go to work, it's just another day at the "office" to them. Bless you all.
infringinator Yes, that is what a hero is, and just as she stated, they don't care what people think about them, call them a dumbass all you want, but i guarentee that they would save your life despite what you say about them, thats the dedication that these men have
Collin Smith welp...this is the only chance of life we get so if you want to waste it saving someone you never knew be my guest. Besides, even if we get another life..you wont know because you'll have a new brain
Me myself as a firefighter and every other firefighter would GLADLY give their life so someone else can live. We know what its like to lose a loved one and we dont want ANYONE going through that pain. Even if it means giving our own, its called CARING, something you know nothing about
I couldnt agree more brother. I am a volunteer for a reason. I dont get paid. I do this because I want to help people. If that means dying in order to save someone else, then so be it.
My eldest brother was a firefighter play New York City in the South Bronx he saved many lives in New York City and all of them are thankful to him he sacrificed his own life for the safety and well-being of others
Definitely! When a building is about to collapse due to fire it could land on them so they're all in danger. I'm not from America (I am British lol :p ) but I'd like to thank them anyway.
After watching the video taken immediately after the initial explosion, there was no hint that the destruction would eventually be this complete. Fire is nasty.

@@Kaczorek2366 This fatal fire was caused by a illegal natural gas hookup. The origin & cause was determined by the FDNY Bureau of Fire Investigation. It is also investigated by the NYPD.

If someone tampered with gas supply it can cause fires and explosions there been a lot of cases in around america especially New York city where house fires started because of tenants or faulty gas pipes or arson attacks children setting fires inside homes to keep warm. All homes should be fire proof and fire spinkles inside them.
FDNY is the best fire department in the world. In 1972 my family was passing through when our car broke down. We had to stay in a hotel for two days while waiting for our car to be repaired. The hotel had a fire. We were on the 8th floor and woke up to an alarm, 30 seconds later FDNY were knocking on the door. There was smoke everywhere but they got us out without injury or incident. Hundreds evacuated and not a single death. I don't remember any injuries though I was only 12 at the time so I can't say for sure. Then they helped us find lodging for the night and the next day we even got our luggage back though a little smoky. We later found out some idiot decided to start a campfire in their room.
If I recall correctly, this fire was particularly hard to extinguish - leading to the building collapses - because illegal modifications done on a gas line from the lead gas main exploded and fed the fire.
MO-1 is the FDNY designation for the MAYOR of The City of New York. The Commissioner of FDNY Communications Bureau orders the fire dispatcher to notify car MO-1 of a major fire especially if it's designed as a 10-60 (Major Incident). This is in case an evacuation order is necessary and only the Mayor can issue such an order!
Here in the UK, any firefighter in charge of an incident can order an evacuation if he sees a risk to the area concerned. It normally only happens when the fire is in an industrial building where large quantities of highly volatile chemicals can explode. Having to delay waiting for permission to potentially save lives is crazy.
The water hoses (pressure) is strong. Besides the buildings beams have been burning for a long time. All I could think of is developer paradise. This is a very HOT area.
Don't you find it funny that these buildings have been around for over a hundred years and never had a fire. And now that property values I go in through the roof y'all catch fire ( in strategic spots around the city ) and in turn driving people out and making property values worth a lot more along with higher rents
How would you know, one way or the other, whether or not these buildings have ever had a fire in them before? There are considerably fewer fires throughout the 5 boroughs than there were in the 1970's. I believe that 1976 was the peak year for structural fires for the FDNY. Back then the city was littered with vacant buildings as a result and landlords were even walking away from them! This particular fire was caused by an illegal gas hook-up which leaked. The building owners were responsible.
so what caused the majority of the damage to the buildings super structure? the explosion or fire, as i know stone is usually fire proof i wasn't expecting the building to collapse
I used to work right at the corner of 7th and 2nd ave, Love Saves the Day. I know that 2 people were killed from this tragedy. R.I.P. You really have to thank God for every day that you have.
Maybe you should ask the 8.6 million people who live there. As a matter of fact, the NYC population has INCREASED by about 1.3 million since 1990. City living is certainly not for everybody. Some people prefer living in a double wide somewhere out in the sticks with no dentists for miles around. No shame in that.
I'm from l.a., which is obviously a big city, but when I've visited New York, I'm always a little bit appalled by the level of density on Manhattan. Constant road work, at all hours of the night, and fires raging everywhere and firetrucks and firemen always on the move. Probably not good for stress levels if you want a long healthy life. Cool place to visit though, but I would start to feel claustrophobic living there, especially with the lack of trees and open sky
I noticed that NYCFD has 10 man working and another 30 firefighters just standing and watching. I respect firefighters and seen different Go Pro videos in different countries.
I was just thinking to myself...if I had to die in the line of duty, would I rather die... 1. Gunned down working as a policeman? 2. Gunned down as a soldier? 3. Burnt alive as a firefighter? I am not hating or judging any of the 3 professions, just trying to imagine the worst case scenario...
In addition to seeing people's homes, possessions and pets destroyed, it's also sad to see these historic buildings destroyed. They represent the old New York that is rapidly being replaced with glass and steel buildings.
Drea de Matteo (Adriana) from TV show Sopranos lived there. Luckily, she was not home at the time. Unfortunately, she watched on TV as her home burned and collapsed.

+SuperAceMan55 HD: In the 1970s under the leadership of UFA Union President Michael Maye, FDNY pulled an illegal strike. There were many multiple alarm fires during that strike. The Fire Officers and Probationary Firefighters along with the Auxiliary Firefighters didn't strike. But they were called SCABS and the Auxiliary Fire Corps was eventually disbanded, due to the immature animosity directed towards the Auxiliary Firefighters. Most of the paid firefighters lived in the suburbs. The Auxiliary Firefighters lived within the community that they volunteered to serve. Common ethics dictates that you don't allow your neighbors house to burn down. You don't allow your neighbors to die in a fire. The Auxiliary Firefighters also were protecting their own homes and families. Now with terrorism and the threats of attacks via Weapons of Mass Destruction, which would decapitate FDNY, the Auxiliary Fire Corps should be reactivated.
@@thestraywatcher9911 #1. Mickey Maye was not the president of the UFA in November 6, 1973. Dick Vaccini was. The strike lasted about 4 1/2 hours and investigation revealed that the membership had actually voted AGAINST the strike. Word had it that they found Vaccini actually burning the ballots by throwing them down an incinerator chute. Very fortunately there were no deaths as a result of the strike. #2. The Auxiliary Fire Corps were established during WWII due to a fear that NYC would be bombed like London was, according to Assistant Chief John J. McCarthy in his 1942 guide on fire fighting. The idea was to augment the manpower, apparatus and equipment of the FDNY. After the war there was no longer a need for them. #3. I very seriously doubt that way back in 1973 that most of the FDNY lived outside the 5 boroughs. #4. IDK what the policy was during WWII, but afterwards, Auxiliaries were not allowed to enter the fire building or operate apparatus. #5. If someone wants to be a firefighter, take the test. And if you meet all the requirements, you will be selected.
I might be wrong, but after seen so many building collapsing because of the fire, and then comparing with the world trade center, the way it went down, is it really possible this was an inside job? not trying to make angry people with my comments, sorry if I did. I'm just wondering why it didn't go down like little by little just like this building, instead, it went down like a demolition bomb.
JRLOC488 I totally understand, but to me, the highest the building, the longer it takes to come down by fire, it will go down piece by piece. Remember Kennedy, that was an inside job. why? we will never know.
Billy Ortega Well you have to consider the two incidents and all the elements that led to the buildings collapsing. You simply cannot congregate them all as merely "a building on fire that collapsed". Here is an extremely detailed analysis of the WTC collapse www.serendipity.li/wot/wtc_ch2.htm if you wish you get more answers.
Billy Ortega That's not necessarily true. I'm not telling you what to think but just offering a counter point. Depending on where collapse starts, it's reasonable to say that a taller building will have much much more weight coming down on top of floors. Think of it like this a 6 story building may collapse and that at the worst will have 5 stories falling on top of the bottom floor, It's a finite amount plus the bottom floor is on the ground, much better foundation what not. Now a taller building say a 60 story high rise (towers were 110), If a collapse happens on the 50th floor that's 10 floors worth of weight hitting a section of building with no real support except the floor beneath. So they pancake then that floor pancakes the next one and so on and so forth. Until you've got 40 or 50 floors worth of weight just crashing downward. All depends on where the collapse starts is what I'm saying. Nothing like the twin towers had ever happened before or since so it's hard to compare to anything.
How do you let a fire get that out of hand with that many people on scene? I can’t seem to wrap my head around how FDNY fights fires. Every single video I’ve seen of them, the building is a total lose afterwards. One video, they damn near blew up 3/4 of the members because the entire building flashed and blew fire out to the road where everyone was standing because they went around and broke out every window.
never say never when all you can afford is what you can afford you make due. Pray and hope for the best. but that can happen to any buidling if there is a gas explosion
I live in N.C now, but I was born and raised in Upstate New York. I knew from when I was a kid that I wanted to be a fireman. I volunteered in Conklin N.Y, and 10years here in North Carolina. I'm proud to be a New Yorker home of THE GREATEST FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE WORLD Thank you for your service. # 343 "Still Riding "
Some of the older buildings are of highly questionable building quality, I feel sorry for the firefighters because they obviously have that in the back of their mind while they are trying to save lives, knowing parts of a building can collapse minutes into the start of fire.
The producers, the scientists of the household things, furnitures .... must find out the materials which cannot be burned or uneasy to catch fire to make carpets, furnitures, mattresses and others.
GreenerHill the collaspe reminded me of the end of "when the Bells go Down". A British film from the early 1940s about the Auxilliary Fire Service and the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz of 1940. The film ends with 2 firemen being killed by a building collapse.
Landlord arson? I spent the night at an apartment in San Francisco that was torched from the basement. Even the fish were cooked in their aquarium 4 floors up. The escape stairwell had plastic steps and they didn't last. The Puerto Rican guards robbed every apartment. They said they were justified in taking the money and alcohol when they found cases of welfare food.

so what caused the majority of the damage to the buildings super structure? the explosion or fire, as i know stone is usually fire proof i wasn't expecting the building to collapse
The beams which hold up the floors also support the outer walls. Without them the walls boa inwards and become top heavy, causing them to collapse.
From what I remember if still correct there was illegal tapping into the gas line in the building someone did.
there was a gas explosion. regular fires don't usually cause these buildings to collapse

2. Gunned down as a soldier?
3. Burnt alive as a firefighter?
I am not hating or judging any of the 3 professions, just trying to imagine the worst case scenario...
How old was the edifice? I bet quite old.
I believe it was built in the 1880's or thereabouts. It is known as an "Old Law" Tenement, i.e., built before April 1901.
i guess new york buildings are prone to collapse...
Especially for what happened almost 23 years ago
I was only a few doors down having lunch when I heard a huge explosion. Walked out minutes later and saw hell
Długa i ciężka akcja gaśnicza. Wspaniała robota.
Very impressive the way they stop the fire,
Oceans of water, plenty of firemen, FDNY are the best.
😔.
How much water did they use over all?
Where is the actual collapse...?
They edited out the building collapse on purpose.
I hope you are paid well!! Thank you for ALL you do. Hod bless
In addition to seeing people's homes, possessions and pets destroyed, it's also sad to see these historic buildings destroyed. They represent the old New York that is rapidly being replaced with glass and steel buildings.
Pets destroyed? You mean killed?
these buildings happened to be in a historic district, they were replaced with a building that fits the context of the neighborhood
2:01 SOUTH bronx!!
This is why you shouldn't get fire in your buildings - it gets all angry
the weight of water used to put out fire it's the cause of the collapse
Sure it added to it but what actually caused it was the explosion. One person was blown across the street from the explosion.
Look at the size of those ladder trucks!! Unreal! Very nice!
Drea de Matteo (Adriana) from TV show Sopranos lived there. Luckily, she was not home at the time. Unfortunately, she watched on TV as her home burned and collapsed.
Looks like that one Spider-Man scene
Yea, Where was Spiderman, J Jonah Jameson's Best Friend for Life?
Not even the Green Goblin was able to replicate this.
Who was that at the end of the video, the Mayor of New York city and I do send my condolances for the two deaths that happened that faithful day.....
Andrew Silva What do you mean by "faithful day"?
angelo212 Probably meant "fateful".
Andrew Silva i know what you meant,so didnt angelo212 some people just love looking for a fight,well i should say a comment fight,never fails,dont even listen to such ignorance!!!
+SuperAceMan55 HD: In the 1970s under the leadership of UFA Union President Michael Maye, FDNY pulled an illegal strike. There were many multiple alarm fires during that strike. The Fire Officers and Probationary Firefighters along with the Auxiliary Firefighters didn't strike. But they were called SCABS and the Auxiliary Fire Corps was eventually disbanded, due to the immature animosity directed towards the Auxiliary Firefighters.
Most of the paid firefighters lived in the suburbs. The Auxiliary Firefighters lived within the community that they volunteered to serve. Common ethics dictates that you don't allow your neighbors house to burn down. You don't allow your neighbors to die in a fire. The Auxiliary Firefighters also were protecting their own homes and families.
Now with terrorism and the threats of attacks via Weapons of Mass Destruction, which would decapitate FDNY, the Auxiliary Fire Corps should be reactivated.

#1. Mickey Maye was not the president of the UFA in November 6, 1973. Dick Vaccini was. The strike lasted about 4 1/2 hours and investigation revealed that the membership had actually voted AGAINST the strike. Word had it that they found Vaccini actually burning the ballots by throwing them down an incinerator chute. Very fortunately there were no deaths as a result of the strike.
#2. The Auxiliary Fire Corps were established during WWII due to a fear that NYC would be bombed like London was, according to Assistant Chief John J. McCarthy in his 1942 guide on fire fighting. The idea was to augment the manpower, apparatus and equipment of the FDNY. After the war there was no longer a need for them.
#3. I very seriously doubt that way back in 1973 that most of the FDNY lived outside the 5 boroughs.
#4. IDK what the policy was during WWII, but afterwards, Auxiliaries were not allowed to enter the fire building or operate apparatus.
#5. If someone wants to be a firefighter, take the test. And if you meet all the requirements, you will be selected.
Excellent footage.
I might be wrong, but after seen so many building collapsing because of the fire, and then comparing with the world trade center, the way it went down, is it really possible this was an inside job? not trying to make angry people with my comments, sorry if I did. I'm just wondering why it didn't go down like little by little just like this building, instead, it went down like a demolition bomb.
Billy Ortega Two completely different buildings. You cannot even compare the two.
JRLOC488 I totally understand, but to me, the highest the building, the longer it takes to come down by fire, it will go down piece by piece. Remember Kennedy, that was an inside job. why? we will never know.
Billy Ortega Well you have to consider the two incidents and all the elements that led to the buildings collapsing. You simply cannot congregate them all as merely "a building on fire that collapsed". Here is an extremely detailed analysis of the WTC collapse www.serendipity.li/wot/wtc_ch2.htm if you wish you get more answers.
Billy Ortega this is brick
Billy Ortega That's not necessarily true. I'm not telling you what to think but just offering a counter point. Depending on where collapse starts, it's reasonable to say that a taller building will have much much more weight coming down on top of floors. Think of it like this a 6 story building may collapse and that at the worst will have 5 stories falling on top of the bottom floor, It's a finite amount plus the bottom floor is on the ground, much better foundation what not. Now a taller building say a 60 story high rise (towers were 110), If a collapse happens on the 50th floor that's 10 floors worth of weight hitting a section of building with no real support except the floor beneath. So they pancake then that floor pancakes the next one and so on and so forth. Until you've got 40 or 50 floors worth of weight just crashing downward. All depends on where the collapse starts is what I'm saying. Nothing like the twin towers had ever happened before or since so it's hard to compare to anything.
Respect to you all!! 🙏
Got to have balls as big as pickle jars to be a fireman
FDNY : America respects you. Well done!
What is this trying to show?
A large fire resulting in a building collapse caused by a gas explosion. Any more questions?
How do you let a fire get that out of hand with that many people on scene? I can’t seem to wrap my head around how FDNY fights fires. Every single video I’ve seen of them, the building is a total lose afterwards. One video, they damn near blew up 3/4 of the members because the entire building flashed and blew fire out to the road where everyone was standing because they went around and broke out every window.
What Gooberville do you hail from?
WOW !!! These huge buildings going up in fire, it's amazing there are not more injuries !!!
What will go up in their place?...Some monstrous modern carbuncle .Those old buildings had character
Fire hose pressure is too much for old bricks.
Why is everything in NYC a BIGGER deal than everywhere else!?! I get anxiety just looking at the crowds of people.
1:35 holy shit they spare no expense with the yellow tape blocking the way.
That fire was RIP- ROARIN!
I will never live in a building like that cause it just takes one person that doesnt care to burn the whole block down
never say never when all you can afford is what you can afford you make due. Pray and hope for the best. but that can happen to any buidling if there is a gas explosion
So sad. Those were beautiful buildings
each of those turrets are what... 2" dia? 1000gpm. Water supply officer did an excellent job
When people know what they are doing, it comes naturally.
I looks as if FDNY employ people with many years of local experience.
@@wilsjane Family heritage. Try applying for anything in that city from section 8 to the best jobs. You'll wait 40 yrs to get a callback.
@@willc5512 Did you file for the test?
Sadly - many people are now homeless with nothing left. Some died too..
I live in N.C now, but I was born and raised in Upstate New York. I knew from when I was a kid that I wanted to be a fireman. I volunteered in Conklin N.Y, and 10years here in North Carolina. I'm proud to be a New Yorker home of THE GREATEST FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE WORLD Thank you for your service. # 343 "Still Riding "
Some of the older buildings are of highly questionable building quality, I feel sorry for the firefighters because they obviously have that in the back of their mind while they are trying to save lives, knowing parts of a building can collapse minutes into the start of fire.
In Germany we call this: Hot renovation ;-)
In Poland we call it bombing of warsaw
The producers, the scientists of the household things, furnitures .... must find out the materials which cannot be burned or uneasy to catch fire to make carpets, furnitures, mattresses and others.
It reminds me of that line from The Towering Inferno where firefighter Kappy says to Steve McQueen's character: "This is a bad 'un!"
GreenerHill the collaspe reminded me of the end of "when the Bells go Down". A British film from the early 1940s about the Auxilliary Fire Service and the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz of 1940. The film ends with 2 firemen being killed by a building collapse.
Who will watch this in May 2115 100 years after?
Landlord arson? I spent the night at an apartment in San Francisco that was torched from the basement. Even the fish were cooked in their aquarium 4 floors up. The escape stairwell had plastic steps and they didn't last. The Puerto Rican guards robbed every apartment. They said they were justified in taking the money and alcohol when they found cases of welfare food.
Deblasio........What a JERK !!!
