Tragically this day 492 people were killed in the infamous Cocoanut Grove Night club fire. It spread through the popular and crowded nightclub in a matter of minutes. It led to sweeping changes in fire codes and building codes. It brought about changes in in treating burn victims also. It was so big it replaced World War 2 news from the front pages at the time. Was the second biggest nightclub fire at the time.
