Two survivors of a deadly fire in a freshman residence hall at Seton Hall University will present a documentary of their horrifying experience and answer questions in two presentations on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 性爱天堂.
The main presentation will begin at 7 p.m. in Laurie Auditorium and is open to the public. Students from all San Antonio colleges and universities are encouraged to attend. A lunchtime session will be held at noon for staff and faculty in the Fiesta Room on the 性爱天堂 campus. Those viewing the midday screening are invited to bring a brown bag lunch.
Ivan Pendergast, 性爱天堂鈥檚 crisis management team coordinator, said the video, 鈥淎fter the Fire,鈥 will be followed by an audience question-and-answer session with the two survivors,聽Alvaro Llanos and Shawn Simons. The documentary was inspired by a Pulitzer Prize-winning story and a聽New York Times听产别蝉迟蝉别濒濒别谤.
鈥淥ne of them was burned over 56 percent of his body, and he talks about multiple skin grafts and other physical discomfort,鈥 Pendergast says. Three students were killed in the fire, which was set as a prank while most students were asleep. The incident occurred in January 2000 at the New Jersey university where Llanos and Simons were 18-year-old roommates.
The free 性爱天堂 presentations are sponsored by the University鈥檚 offices of Environmental Health and Safety, Risk Management and Insurance, and Emergency Management along with the 性爱天堂 Police Department.
