Haunted Castle Fire in New York City
In may 19 84, an attraction called the haunted castle at the six flags great adventure amusement park in jackson, new jersey, burned to the ground. Later that night, it was discovered that eight people had died in the attraction, all aged 20 and under. While they were within 25 feet of an exit when they died, seven of them had been trapped in a maze segment of the attraction. The building itself was not really a building at all, but 17 aluminum trailers that had been connected together with a stucco facade added on the structure. Operated under a temporary building certificate, but had been running for six years when fire occurred. Temporary buildings have different regulatory requirements about safety equipment
