searing flames rip up the 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 th 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 ....

Extinguished. the fireman who was walking down escalator number 6 and looked across to escalator number 4, approximately one minute before flashover, had described the fire as being relatively small. but then, the fire spread across the steps, the bottom of the trench. it could only draw oxygen from one direction, from below. this was the trench effect. the flames were deflected into the trench and began to flow up the treads, the risers, and exposing the balustrades to very high levels of heat flux. from there, the hot gases are going up the escalator trench ahead of the flame. they re heating the wood quite considerably. it gets quite hot, even though there s no flame there. it s sucking up the air from below like a chimney would, which is what it needs to do, and that would tend to flatten the flames down in the early ....

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 ....

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 second floor. and three minutes after ignition, the living room would reach flashover, blowing out the ....

And gas levels in the room would be fatal. at 5 1/2 minutes the fire reaches flashover and the window blows out. this was consistent with paul camiolo s version of events. matches up with everything that paul camiolo was saying and with other objective evidence that he has nothing to do with. but important questions remained. if the fire was an accident, why was gasoline found on the living room floor? turn around every now and then i get a little bit hungry and there s nothing really good around turn around every now and then i get a little bit tired of living off the taste of the air turn around, barry finally, i have a manly chocolatey snack and fiber so my wife won t give me any more flack ....
