Tragic

A woman lights up a candle at the scene of a fire that killed seven children yesterday in the Midwood neighborhood March 22, 2015 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Investigators say a hot plate in the kitchen started the fire that killed the children ranging in age from five to 16 years old, and left the mother and another child in critical condition. The bodies of the children are being flown to Israel for burial. (Photo by Kena Betancur/Getty Images)
