DESCRIPTION:A fire at the Brooklyn Theater in New York kills nearly 300 pe
 ople and injures hundreds more on this day in 1876. Some victims perished 
 from a combination of burns and smoke inhalation\; others were trampled to
  death in the general panic that ensued.\nThe play The Two Orphans starrin
 g Harry S. Murdock and Kate Claxton was showing at the Brooklyn Theater on
  the night of December 5. The theater\, built five years earlier at the co
 rner of Johnson and Washington streets\, was very popular at the time and 
 all 900 seats were filled. Sometime near the start of the performance\, a 
 gas light ignited some extra scenery stored in the fly space behind the st
 age. It wasn't until midway through the play that stagehands noticed the q
 uickly spreading flames. Unfortunately\, there were no fire hoses or water
  buckets at hand and the fire spread\, unbeknownst to the cast and audienc
 e.\nFinally\, someone shouted "FIRE" and despite Murdock's best attempt to
  calm the crowd\, bedlam ensued\, particularly in the balcony and rear of 
 the theater. A narrow staircase was the only the exit from the balcony (th
 ere were no fire escapes) and panic resulted in a stampede in which many w
 ere crushed and others remained trapped. Meanwhile\, the fire grew out of 
 control. Witnesses saw Murdock return to the dressing room to change cloth
 es\; he then tried to wiggle out of a small window. He couldn't get throug
 h\, and died when the floor gave way and he fell to the basement.\nBy the 
 time firefighters arrived it was too late for hundreds of people. The fire
  raged through the night and destroyed nearly the entire building. When wo
 uld-be rescuers were finally able to get in\, all they found were bodies m
 elted together. Up to 100 of the victims were burned beyond recognition an
 d could not be identified. A mass grave was set up at the Green-Wood Cemet
 ery. In all\, approximately 295 people died. A 30-foot-high granite memori
 al was later erected in their honor by the city of Brooklyn.\n
