[02:42.72]Lesson 62   Reading

[02:52.38]Read the passage to answer this question:

[02:57.35]Why were so many people killed in this fire?

[03:02.99]SAO PAULO FIRE

[03:06.44]More than 220 people were killed in the fire which destroyed the Capital Building

[03:13.59]on February 4th,1974.

[03:18.45]The building was finished only a few months before the fire;

[03:24.23]it was Sao Paulo's newest building.

[03:28.59]All 25 floors of the office building were completely 3 destroyed.

[03:34.65]The fire also destroyed cars which belonged to people who worked in the building.

[03:41.31]Over 500 people were working in the building

[03:46.27]when the fire broke out on the 11th floor.

[03:50.64]No one knows how the fire started.

[03:54.71]Perhaps it was started by an electrical fire in the ceiling 4 of one of the offices.

[04:01.19]Office workers tried to put out the fire,but it was impossible to control it.

[04:07.64]Soon the whole floor was on fire

[04:11.90]and it was impossible for people on the floors above to escape.

[04:17.75]Below the 11th floor people were able to escape into the street.

[04:24.02]However,more than 300 people were trapped above the fire.

[04:30.18]The building was built without any fire escapes.

[04:35.04]Many of the people who were trapped

[04:38.88]climbed up the stairs to the flat roof of the office building.

[04:44.24]Helicopters 5 were sent to rescue them，

[04:48.91]but it was impossible for them to get close enough.

[04:53.96]The smoke from the fire was too thick for them to be able to land on the roof.

[05:00.33]However,after about two hours,they were able to get close enough

[05:06.81]and about 70 people escaped from the fire in the helicopters.

[05:12.74]In the streets below,there were other problems.

[05:17.57]There were so many people in the street watching the fire

[05:22.43]that firefighters 6 could not get close to the building.

[05:27.08]When they reached the burning building

[05:30.63]they found that their ladders were not long enough

[05:35.20]to reach the people who were trapped.

[05:38.96]The fire lasted about four hours before the firefighters could control it.

[05:45.31]But it was too late.

[05:48.47]The whole building was destroyed and over 220 people lost their lives in the fire
