They took the elevator upstairs, and upon the elevator doors opening, they were overcome by smoke. One died this morning, the other is in critical condition. Unbelievably, there is no standard operating procedure for the police in a fire situation like this in NY, and in many other cities, including London, England. Of course, NOW there will be, at least in NY. Really, how stupid can the NYPD be? I thought it was a "given", not to take an elevator when there's a fire. (Not that it makes any difference, but the fire was set by a 16 year old, who said he was bored). Thoughts?

I'm stunned.I also thought it was a given that you don't use elevators in a fire.I hope they put the bored 16 YO in with the general population.I'm sure there will be someone there to keep him interested.What a little mongrel.It cost that poor copper his life.

They were overcome by smoke IN the elevator, or when they exited?
Certainly, elevators are not the recommended method of transportation during a fire.
My heart goes out to the policeman's family.
The bored kid should spend enough time in a youth facility (if he isn't tried as an adult) and get some intensive therapy. The magnitude of his actions shouldn't be minimized. A man is dead.
