History of hotel fires in the United States : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of hotel fires in the United States
Hotel fires in the United States have had significant repercussions. For example, on January 10, 1883, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a hotel fire killed 80 people. A few weeks earlier Lucius W. Nieman had become editor of ''The Daily Journal'', now the ''Milwaukee Journal''. The newspaper told the "appalling story of neglect, falsehood, manipulation, and concealing of truth that had preceded the tragedy"〔Scott Cutlip (Fall !964) "Portrait without blemishes", Columbia Journalism Review, pp 42,3〕 According to Nieman, it was the reporting of that story that gave his paper a fair share of the Milwaukee newspaper readers, who also had two political and three German newspapers. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has documented several dozen hotel fires in the United States since the 1930s that have killed more than ten people each, deeming these incidents to be fires of historical note. The Winecoff Hotel fire of December 7, 1946, in Atlanta, Georgia, which claimed 119 lives, is the deadliest hotel fire disaster in the history of the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historic Fires )〕 The last fire in the United States which killed ten or more people according to the NFPA took place at the Dupont Plaza in San Juan, Puerto Rico in December 1986, which claimed 98 lives and caused 140 injuries. ==1930s==
