THE FIRE LADDER 🤯–world history and facts



This photo was taken in Boston in 1975. In fact, it won the 1976 Pulitzer for photography.


It shows a young woman and a little girl falling from 15 meters high.


The building where they were was on fire, so they tried to get out to save their lives. They managed to get to the fire escape to be rescued by the fire brigade, the outlook looked encouraging, as it was a routine rescue, until unfortunately the ladder came loose and they fell to the ground from the fifth floor. However, in a human sacrifice, the woman hit the ground first and died from the impact, but the girl landed on top of her crumpled body. This spared him the impact of the landing and saved his life.


This photograph was very famous and generated a lot of controversy in its time, to the point that it helped to redesign the way in which fire escapes were built. But the most shocking thing was that it framed a terrifying moment, for history.
