This video is from sometime in the 70's. Some of the fires (i.e. The Andraus & Joelma buildings in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Rault Center in New Orleans) were in the early 70's

this must be from the 70s cause that sao paulo brazil thing was in the early 70s i think

the building i'm talking about had only one stairwell, with no fire doors! it was built in the 60s!

Yes, The New Orleans firefighters were on the scene, working desperately to reach the women trapped at the window.

The firefighters made an interior attack with 2 handlines from the interior standpipe riser. They were working their way down the corridor, fighting the fire as they went. Meanwhile outside rescue attempts were proving difficult against time. The fire had a huge headstart before it was discovered. The first apparatus arrived within a minute, but conditions already deteriorated.

The Fire Dept. was on the scene. The whole city of New Orleans saw that terrible scene live on television that afternoon. Those poor women were trapped in a beauty parlor.

Wonder if the FD was there when those people were jummping out or not?

I hate to think someone had the nerve to film such a thing before the FD had arrived.
