NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- Nine caskets lined the front of a coliseum as thousands of firefighters from across the nation, their hats in their hands as bagpipes played, honored nine colleagues who died battling a furniture store blaze.
Uniformed escorts walked the men's wives, siblings and children to their seats in a long procession of red carnations, tears and hugs.
Monday night's fire created the single largest loss of firefighters' lives since the September 11 terror attacks.
