Two Fires at the Same Location with 72 from the First in a Crypt below the 2nd structure, Monumental Church ... from the news today about the past

Monumental Church is becoming known to more people from a story about it on a show about fires (which I just saw today so am sharing since I wanted to learn more and imagine more of you will also want to tune into.) After reading these two resources I learned that happened in Virginia and that the Governor at the time died in the event, possibly trying to save others as did many returning in once they got out or amidst the challenges of trying to empty a crowded theater under alarming circumstances.
