Worst New York loft fire since 1956 traps workers and injures 15
A massive blaze in a Greenwich Village loft building traps about 50 women on the fourth floor of the Monarch Underwear company. Two people are found alive in debris as 200 firefighters battle the flames and area traffic grinds to a halt. The fire is tied to safety complaints by Commissioner Cavanagh and recalls the Triangle Shirtwaist disaster.
