Fire fighting news.

This episode of Modern Marvels: Firefighting! examines historical attempts to control fire, from ancient Rome to today’s high-tech attempts. Profiling major fires in Chicago, San Francisco, and New York, the show discusses efforts of city planning to reduce fire risk.

The program opens with a graphic bleeding demonstration, re-creating injury to blood vessels in the hand of a cadaver. Dr. Gunther von Hagens then examines the consequences of blood loss in the body’s vital organs by creating knife-wounds in the torso of a frozen body, then sawing it into slices to reveal the path of the blades and the shocking extent of the damage.
