COMMENTS: Charleston’s Bravest
The South Carolina firefighters' funeral was a ceremonial event rather than a breaking news story. "From California to Massachusetts it was as though every fire station in America felt its loss," CBS' Mark Strassmann observed. Thousands crowded into the local civic center. "The bagpipes came from New York. The national anthem from Indianapolis," narrated ABC's Steve Osunsami (subscription required). He also noted "a handful of Presidential candidates," showing us Rudolph Giuliani and John Edwards. The fire at the Sofa Super Store showroom and warehouse is believed to be accidental, not arson, NBC's Martin Savidge updated us. It probably started in a dumpster, an area where "employees would go for a cigarette."
