108 years later, & lessons still not learned. Lest we forget…

Backstage at BackstageJobs.com | Life behind the scenes…: On December 30th, 1903, 602 people were killed in what remains the worst theatre fire in the US. This tragedy occurred at the Iroquois Theatre, only 5 weeks old and boasting to be “fireproof”, in post “Great Fire” Chicago, the home of some of the most strict fire codes in the world, both then and now.
