Description
ETA JIMA, JAPAN. 1947-07-27. SCAFFOLDING AT THE END OF A BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT BCOF HEADQUARTERS, NEAR WHERE A FIRE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE STARTED, ESCAPED WITH LITTLE OR NO DAMAGE. THE FIRE, BURNING THROUGH THE TIE ROPES, ENABLED THE LIGHT SAPLING FRAMEWORK TO SWING OUT OF RANGE OF THE FLAMES. HERE THE FLAMES HAVE REACHED THE WOODWORK AT THE TOP OF THE CONCRETE TOWER AT THE END OF THE BUILDING.
