The title refers to an off-the-cuff comment by broadcaster Howard Cosell during the ABC telecast of Game Two of the 1977 World Series:

“ As night descended, ABC, broadcasting the game, cut to a helicopter camera for an overhead view of Yankee Stadium and the surrounding neighborhood, where, bizarrely, a large fire raged out of control.

History Since 400 AD Chinese children have played with bamboo flying toys. The original Yankee Stadium is a Stadium located in The Bronx in New York City. Howard Cosell intoned, 'There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is burning. '[1] ”

According to the source book's author, Mahler, at the time property taxes were so high landlords would burn down their buildings for the insurance money, and some tenants would set a fire in a decrepit, privately-owned building in order to get priority for the newer public housing. [2]}}
