A Bronx community gathered Sunday to pay its final respects to perished loved ones, a week after a fire filled a high-rise apartment building with thick, suffocating smoke that killed 17 people, including eight children.
The mass funeral capped a week of prayers and mourning within a close-knit community hailing from West Africa, most with connections to the tiny country of Gambia
More than two dozen men came together to push 15 caskets down Bronx streets on Sunday morning for the mass funeral of victims of the Bronx apartment building fire.
