And now here is our star David Bryan as Paul Garrett, Mr. District Attorney. The welfare of a city or county is not jeopardized by criminals alone. Nature itself is capable of sudden and unexpected violence that can lead to terror and death.

In a matter of seconds, the entire section was rocked with explosions as flames swept the quarter mile area of warehouses and tenements. Seventy-two hours later, the combined fire departments of several cities were still struggling to get the flames under control.
The death toll and damages were appalling. Look just look at that smoke did you get the latest issue of the paper? Yeah 300 dead so far more than a hundred still missing lots of bodies unidentified One of the names of that blistered it right there in page one 20 about 20 identified so far
