Description
Police, firemen, reporters, and the curious gather at the entrance to the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston on November 29, 1942. A fire on the previous evening incinerated the interior of the building, killing 492 and injuring 270, but leaving little apparent exterior damage. The high loss of life was due mainly to a lack of exits and the rapid growth of the blaze.
