In
1913, the
"absolutely fireproof"
Winecoff Hotel was designed and built without sprinklers,
fire escapes, or even an alarm system.
On December 7, 1946, the unthinkable happened and one hundred
and nineteen people lost their lives leaping from windows,
suffocating from smoke, and being burned alive. These are
their stories.
