I will definitely be getting on Netflix to watch the documentary. What an interesting story. I am relieved to hear that 38 people weren't hanging out the window watching it happen and doing nothing. <br /><br />I find the video interesting as how the people in a group ignored the smoke coming under the door. I wonder if the passage of time would alter the results. Today wouldn't young people say "What the f***?"
