Burning A
one-hour documentary depicting the tragedy of our country's
deadliest hotel fire.
"Surely there's a heaven for folks that die this way..."
--Lee Roy Abernathy
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.
