Inferno in Manchester. The 1979 Woolworths Tragedy

On May 8, 1979, an ordinary shopping day in Manchester turned into one of the most terrifying disasters in British retail history. A fire at the iconic Woolworths department store in Piccadilly claimed 10 lives and changed fire safety laws forever. In this short documentary, we look at the minute-by-minute account of the tragedy, the "polyurethane trap" that made the smoke so toxic, and the heroic efforts of the Manchester Fire Brigade. Why were the exits locked? How did a faulty cable lead to an inferno? Join us as we dive into the history of the Great Manchester Fire.
