Winecoff Hotel Fire - December 7, 1946
Sixty years ago the Winecoff Hotel burned in Atlanta, GA. Winecoffhotelfire.com has lots of details about the incident.
The Winecoff Hotel Fire of 1946 held the unenviable honor of being known as the deadliest hotel fire in the world and maintained that title until 1971 when one hundred and sixty-two people lost their lives in a hotel fire in Seoul, South Korea. The Winecoff remains, to this day, the worst hotel fire in American history. The fate of this once glamorous and celebrated hotel is unclear, but one thing is certain, it must never be forgotten.
