On March 4, 1908, a small fire inside the Lakeview School in Collinwood, Ohio turned into one of the deadliest school disasters in American history.
More than 350 children were inside the building. Many never made it out.
In Part 2 of this series, we break down exactly what happened inside the school—from the first signs of smoke to the rapid spread of fire, blocked exits, and the desperate attempts to escape.
This is the moment everything went wrong.
In this episode:
- How the fire started in the basement - Why the alarm system failed to alert the fire department - The deadly impact of overcrowding and narrow exit - How panic and design flaws trapped students inside - The heroic actions of teachers and students trying to save lives
Within five minutes, the building became a deadly trap.
