you know, it was just amazing. lucky indeed. more than 100 firefighters raced to the scene and quickly found out that they weren t going to get much help. the elevators had stopped working, so they had to go up dozens of flights of stairs to try to save residents and then try to put the fire out. and we still haven t gotten the elevators to work, so we re actually walking all the equipment up and down, up to the 29th floor. and of course when they got there, they realized there weren t any sprinklers. since the building was built before 1974, it doesn t require sprinkler systems, but the mayor of honolulu says that needs to change for the entire city, every building, quoting to local report according to a local report, a man and his mother died along with one other woman. 12 others were injured including one of the firefighters who was going up and down the stairs, he had to be treated for heat exhaustion. eric? eric: it is pretty astounding
