The Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta, GA is best known for a fire that occurred there on December 7, 1946, in which 119 people died. It remains the deadliest hotel fire in U.S. history. Arnold Hardy was an amateur photographer in the area at the time of the fire. Turning up he saw a woman falling to the ground. He pointed his camera and fired his last bulb just as she was passing the third floor. Her body hit a pipe then bounced into a railing and fell to the ground. She miraculously survived.

I actually had the opportunity to take a look through the Winecoff/Ellis hotel in 2006 prior to renovation.
It's a great picture. I love photos like that, as sad as it is.
