At 3:15 PM, a small spark from a stage light ignited a curtain. 

Within minutes, it became one of the deadliest fires in U.S. history. 

In Part 2 of the Iroquois Theatre Fire, we break down how a preventable fire spread out of control — from faulty safety systems to crowd panic and deadly design failures.

- Why the fire curtain failed 
- How panic spread through the crowd 
- The deadly flaws in exits and doors
