This photograph was taken by Dr. McLaurin, commissioner of the city trade wastes department. He was one of the first investigators allowed in the X-ray film storage room after the catastrophe that took so many innocent lives. The light bulb hanging precariously from the pipe duct in the image was theorized to be the primary source of decomposition to the nitrocellulose film. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
