Then, the unthinkable happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then it went. Just collapsed. For whatever reason, it collapsed. The fire escape collapsed,&#8221; Forman told CBS News. &#8220;They&#8217;re falling. There&#8217;s no doubt they&#8217;re falling, and the fire escape coming down behind them. I realized two people had fallen to the ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/22\/b4e3be42-2ff4-48d0-bae5-5590233f7944\/thumbnail\/620x414\/0f54159816dcfd5f10aebb265701b1e4\/boston-fire-escape.png#\" alt=\"boston-fire-escape.png \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/22\/b4e3be42-2ff4-48d0-bae5-5590233f7944\/thumbnail\/620x414\/0f54159816dcfd5f10aebb265701b1e4\/boston-fire-escape.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Stanley Forman&#8217;s Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of 19-year-old Diana Bryant and her 2-year-old Tiare Jones falling from a collapsed fire escape during a fire in Boston in 1975.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Stanley Forman<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Forman said it left him shaking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just watched something awful, awful happen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I never had doubts about getting the picture, but I just watched something awful happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Forman said it still gets to him 50 years later. &#8220;I watched death in front of me,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>A firefighter, Robert O&#8217;Neill, dangled with one arm clutching the fire engine&#8217;s ladder and survived.

He said back in 1975, there were no regulations for inspections.<\/p>\n<p>Within months of the fire and Forman&#8217;s photo being published, Boston changed the city code to require fire escapes to be certified as safe every five years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kinder said the impact of Forman&#8217;s photo is &#8220;undeniable, and had a ripple effect throughout the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is what can happen when fire escapes are neglected and they need to be used during an emergency,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Forman said, &#8220;I think it scared people.
