Re: This Day In History: President Taft Pardons William H. Van Schaick

. Why were most of the passengers unable to escape the fire?

Maybe there was no life-preservers,boats, fire alarms, or maybe just a over crowded ship. Or maybe too many folks partaketh in the pre-Christmas drinking festivities and were too wasted to do something about the fire.
