The Winecoff Fire The Untold Story of America's Deadliest Hotel Fire [Audiobook]

And, in fact, it did not burn. Its guests did. Or they died on Peachtree Street, or in quiet clusters, huddled together for courage against the silent, suffocating smoke. It was the worst hotel fire ever, anywhere. The fact that today it is still the worst hotel fire in North America - and the second worst in the world - is testament to its horror. One hundred nineteen people died. The rest survived by extraordinary heroism or blind luck. This is their story - all of them, the dead and the lucky - a story of ordinary lives colliding with catastrophe, a moment frozen in time. And a story of an investigation that went awry.
