I'm a photojournalism minor, so I've been trained to shoot first and ask questions later when I hear sirens. I was jolted awake this morning at 7:30 AM by one hell of a commotion out front of my house. I had been up partying until 3:30 the previous night, so I was a bit hung over, but I ran outside into the snow in my pajamas and slippers and did my best.
7 residents all got out alive and are hospitalized. 2 had to jump from a second story window and one of them is in critical condition.
This was in Allston, MA and most of the residents were BU students.
Aftermath
Check your fire alarms guys, and make sure you have a plan to get out. In this day and age, we shouldn't be jumping out of windows to escape a fire. One of the jumpers actually called his mother first before he called the authorities, most likely because he thought he was going to die and figured it was more important to call a loved one than make a feeble attempt at calling for help before jumping.
