Episode 39: Tragedy at Cocoanut Grove (Jul 31, 2017)

492 people were killed in a 1942 fire at Boston's Cocoanut Grove nightclub that lasted barely a half hour. It was the deadliest disaster in Boston history. Only the smallpox epidemics of the early 1700s and the 1918 Spanish flu rival it for loss of life. Show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/039
