NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Funerals will be held in the days ahead for many of the 17 victims of the Bronx high-rise fire. As restoration work continues on the building, numerous survivors have vowed not to move back, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported Thursday. There was a bright moment during a dark week as balloons were released from the memorial wall at the school adjacent to the fire scene. A group of young men at the memorial said they were friends with 12-year-old Seydou Toure. Travel and other issues related to burial are being addressed since many of the victims’ relatives live in West Africa.
