Chaos on the San Mateo Bridge as flames convert joy to untold tragedy.

On May 4, 2013, five nurses, vibrant and full of life, were returning from a joyous bachelorette party, their laughter abruptly silenced by fire.

Investigators unraveled a grim tapestry of failed safety measures and ignored warnings, bringing those responsible to the forefront of public outrage.

The resulting legal journey became a solemn tribute to the lost lives, emphasizing the grievous cost of negligence. Lasting change was demanded by voices echoing through the haunting courtroom proceedings.
