Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The One Meridian Plaza Heliport was located on the roof of the One Meridian Plaza office building. The building was severely damaged by a fire in 1991 and later demolished.
The heliport was used for corporate travel before the fire. The fire, which claimed the lives of three firefighters, led to significant changes in high-rise fire safety codes.
The building stood vacant for years before being dismantled in 1999. The site is now occupied by the Ritz-Carlton residences.
The heliport and the building are remembered for the tragic fire and the subsequent impact on the city's skyline and safety regulations.
