7. Park Central Hotel, New York City
7. 紐約,中央公園酒店
The Park Central Hotel was the stage for one of the city`s most famous mob murders. On October 25, 1957, Albert Anastasia, creator of the long-running Gambino crime family, had his neck exposed ready for a shave when three gunmen burst in the door from the street and shot him several times. In 1928, Arnold Rothstein, the kingpin of the Jewish mob in New York, was found bleeding in the hotel. When the police asked him, on his deathbed two days later, to identify his killers, he said, "My mother did it."
位于紐約的中央公園酒店曾上演了城中最有名的暴力謀殺案。1957年10月25日,一手創(chuàng)建黑幫組織“甘比諾家族”的艾伯特•阿納斯塔西亞正在準(zhǔn)備刮胡子時,3名暴徒破門而入,朝其開了數(shù)槍。而早在1928年,紐約*黑幫大亨阿諾德•羅斯坦也在此遇襲,流血不止。兩天后當(dāng)警方在其臨終前詢問是誰要置他于死地時,他說:“是我母親干的?!?BR> 8. Raffles Hotel, Singapore
8. 新加坡,萊弗士酒店
What a party it was: On August 20, 1945, five days after Japan`s surrender in the Second World War, 300 Japanese officers relaxed in the lobby of Singapore`s Raffles Hotel. Then, when evening rolled around, each pulled his ceremonial sword from its scabbard and literally fell on it. The Raffles was served as an administration center for the Japanese occupation of Singapore during the war.
1945年8月20 日,也就是二戰(zhàn)日本投降的第五天,300名日本軍官在新加坡萊弗士酒店休閑喝酒。夜幕降臨時,他們個個軍刀出鞘,剖腹自盡!二戰(zhàn)期間,這家酒店曾是日本占領(lǐng)軍的總部。
9. Bellevue-Stratford, Philadelphia
9. 費(fèi)城,貝爾維尤-斯特拉特福酒店
The Bellevue was the toast of Philadelphia until 1976, when it took out 34 guests in a single sitting. Following an American Legion convention in celebration of the Bicentennial, several attending Legionnaires began suffering pneumonia-like symptoms. A total of 221 people were afflicted, of whom 34 eventually died; near-pandemonium spread as fears of an epidemic circulated through the press.
貝爾維尤-斯特拉特福酒店曾經(jīng)是整座費(fèi)城的驕傲。直到1976年的一天,一頓飯卻要了34位來賓的命。當(dāng)年美國退伍軍人協(xié)會在該酒店舉行200周年慶,之后一些與會者就患上了一種類似肺炎的怪病。共有221人被感染,其中34人死亡,而媒體的大肆報道也導(dǎo)致了全城恐慌。
10. Westin St. Francis, San Francisco
10. 舊金山,圣弗蘭西斯威斯汀酒店
In September 1921, Silent-film comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle attended a party at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco during the Labor Day weekend. Bit player Virginia Rappe became drunk and ill at the party; she died four days later. Arbuckle was accused of raping and accidentally killing Rappe. Although he was declared not guilty, his films were subsequently banned.
1921年9月,默片時代的喜劇演員羅斯科•阿伯基爾在圣弗蘭西斯威斯汀酒店參加一場勞動節(jié)派對。派對上,小明星維吉尼亞•拉普醉酒導(dǎo)致身體不適,并于四天后死亡。阿伯基爾被控強(qiáng)*以及過失殺人。盡管他最終被判無罪,但他的電影卻在其后被禁。
