A fire at a grade school in Chicago killed 87 children and three
nuns on December 1, 1958; five more children later died as a
result of their injuries.

The fire originated in the basement near the foot of a stairway.

The Our Lady of Angels School was operated by the Sisters
of Charity in Chicago.

The disaster led to major improvements in standards for school
design and fire safety codes.

Archaeologists developed a reconstruction image of what
the ancient church would have looked like.

Archaeologists recently uncovered what they believe to be one
of the oldest Christian churches in the world.

The University of Münster announced the discovery of the fourth
-century church in a press release on Oct. 11.

The school, located in Germany, teamed up with archaeologists
from the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia to find the
ancient ruins.

The remains of the ancient Christian building were found at the
Artaxata site in the Ararat Plain. Excavators have been digging
there since 2018, but didn’t find the remains until recently.
