In this History episode we focus on February 18th, 2003 — the morning a 56-year-old man with two milk cartons of flammable liquid set fire to a subway car in Daegu, South Korea, killing 192 people as the smoke from burning synthetic interiors trapped passengers in a second train whose doors had locked shut in an underground station with no ventilation.
192 people went to work on a Tuesday morning. The fire took two minutes.
