Facts

Hello, this is Copilot. I can help you extract the key facts out of this text. Here are some facts I found:

1. The text is about the fire of the Great International Circus in Niterói, Brazil, in 1961, which killed hundreds of people and animals and changed the lives of many others.
2. The fire was caused by three men who wanted revenge for being fired or denied entry to the circus. They used gasoline to set the tarpaulin on fire, which was made of cotton and paraffin and very flammable.
3. The fire spread quickly and trapped many people inside the circus, including children and performers. Some people were trampled by an elephant that escaped from the fire and opened a hole in the tarpaulin, saving some lives.
4. The doctors in Niterói and Rio de Janeiro were on strike at the time, so there was a lack of medical assistance for the victims. Many people had severe burns and needed skin grafts. A hospital in Washington donated 40,000 pieces of skin for this purpose.
5. A doctor named Ivo Pitanguy spent two years treating the victims and became a world-renowned specialist in skin implants and aesthetic treatments. He was one of the people who learned from the tragedy and improved medicine in Brazil.
6. A man named José Datrino, also known as Gentileza, became a poet and a spiritual leader after having a dream that told him to give up his material possessions and live near the site of the fire. He wrote positive messages on the walls of Rio de Janeiro and became famous for his phrase "kindness breeds kindness".
7. The fire traumatized the city of Niterói so much that it only received another circus after 14 years. It was also one of the biggest fires in Brazil's history, along with another one that happened in a nightclub in 2013.
