Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other st udent s f rom Westf ield State College were on vacation in
Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back
from a party.
Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their
fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people
shouting.
Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that,
he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping
people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old
boy who had a room on the second floor.
"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around
their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they
found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But
after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors
on every floor.
In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel.
It was our duty to help them."
