A Fiery End


A B50 Superfortress crashed just after taking off from Boeing Field in 1951. It clipped the Rainier brewery and destroyed the Lester Apartments, killing the six crewmen and five residents on the ground. In a previous life the apartments once had the distinction of being the largest bordello in the world, set up by Seattle's mayor and chief of police, no less. The site is now beneath I-5.
