| 释义 |
The Saint John city hall fire also known as the Saint John jail fire was a building fire which occurred in Saint John, New Brunswick's city lockup on June 21, 1977 - which at that time was located on the ground floor of the Saint John city hall. The fire, which had been started by inmate John Kenney, killed 21 men who were trapped in confinement. The fire caused large amounts of outrage as many of the inmates who were killed were locked up for offences that many deemed trivial. Further scorn was also directed at elements of the lockup's design such as padding in the cells which many claimed was highly flammable.[1][2] References1. ^http://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/remembering-the-deadly-saint-john-jail-fire-40-years-later-1.3470432 {{coord|45.2732|N|66.0629|W|display=title}}{{disaster-stub}}2. ^http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/1977-deadly-fire-at-saint-john-jail 7 : 1977 crimes in Canada|1977 in New Brunswick|Disasters in New Brunswick|1977 disasters|June 1977 events|Building and structure fires in Canada|History of Saint John, New Brunswick |
