Fiery Death Trap

About this source

Photo 15 is selected for the full image; photo 18 supplies a larger caption view. Duplicate shots 16-17 preserved with originals. Glare and the photographer’s reflection obscure detail; these have not been erased or replaced. Newspaper allegations and testimony are reported claims, not independently established findings. Reading transcriptions normalize spacing and line-break hyphenation; bracketed flags preserve uncertainty. No generative image restoration was used.
