65 years ago tonight

[Kevin Vahey]

It was the worst night in Boston history as 492 died at the Coconut Grove
fire.

I understand it was the first time in Boston radio history that the stations
really went all out to cover breaking news. Donna may have some background
on this.

My Dad told me he listened to WBZ for something like 2 days straight as they
would keep announcing the names of the dead.
