Great movie, 15 March 2002
Author: Elizabeth (charlotte_rae_fan@yahoo.com) from Earth

This movie was very good, and very dramatic. We watched it in history! (I was thrilled, cause Charlotte Rae is in it!) Anyway, it was a very well written movie and the cast is VERY talented! It feels like you're really there watching it. It gets a little too realistic when people were jumping out windows to escape burning to death.
