Synopsis

Professor Jose Torero believes that his fire protection system could have changed the outcome of the September 11 attacks. On that day, 343 New York firefighters died while battling the fires in the Twin Towers. The documentary details the challenges firefighters face in high-rise buildings, where predicting fire behavior is nearly impossible. Torero has spent a decade developing Firegrid, a new technology aimed at improving fire safety and potentially saving lives in future emergencies.
