Escalator and into the ticket hall, incinerating everything in their path. this thing is like a monster. there was just a complete rush of thick, black smoke from the subways, and it was right at that moment we realized that a flashover had occurred. flashover is a virtually instantaneous spread of fire. everything flammable ignites simultaneously. so, from two minutes, it had gone from apparently the size of a cardboard box to a major disaster. firefighters tried desperately to get inside the station but are driven back by the intense heat and smoke. firefighters were collapsing left, right and center. the heat down there had made some of them urinate themselves with fear. and when they came out to the top, they weren t capable of moving again. a lot of them were collapsing into heaps. ron lipsius stumbles into the chaos outside, and for the first time, realizes he is badly ....

Stages as well, which would start this effect off of the trench effect. the escalator trench acted as a chimney, made not of brick, but of highly flammable wood. at 7:45, a torrent of superheated gas rushed up the escalator, priming everything in its path to burn. the sudden movement of the fire up the escalator was called the flashover. it burst into the booking hall at the top. the hot gases and flames exploded into the ticket hall, feeding off years of thick paint on the walls and 3 tons of varnished wood on the escalator below. the cavernous room was a death trap. those people would have died extremely quickly. and if there s anything, if there s any comfort there, it is the comfort that they didn t suffer for very, very long at all. the government s board of inquiry accepted the new science of the trench effect and found it had caused the disaster. there was a general sense amongst people that really the ....

Second floor. and three minutes after ignition, the living room would reach flashover, blowing out the window. the entire room becomes engulfed in flames because there s so much burning and so much hot gas that it s completely uninhabitable. but the police witnessed the window breaking five or six minutes after paul called the fire department. to roby, this meant that gasoline couldn t have been used to start the fire. he would have had a tough time actually getting to the front door without being engulfed in flames. that s one of the things our model showed. so we look at the arson scenario and there is inconsistency after inconsistency. next, roby tested paul camiolo s story. paul said the fire started by accident with a cigarette or match his mother had been using. at one minute, the fire would be about two feet tall and gathering strength. ....

Gallon of gasoline to create a pour pattern the size of the one found in the living room. five or six minutes after paul camiolo called the fire department the outside window exploded. the explosion was the result of what is called flash-over. when flash-over occurs, temperatures in the room get so high that items ignite even without coming into contact with the flame, as you can see here. and in fact, unfortunately there are firefighters killed every year by having been caught in flash-over conditions because it happens so rapidly. sometimes it s very difficult to escape from those conditions. after roby entered this information into his computer program, he lit a virtual match. within 30 seconds, hot gas fills the room. within one minute, smoke and gas spread up the stairs to the ....
