On March 29, 1979, he suffered severe burns in a fire at the Copley
Plaza hotel, in Boston, but survived after 30 hours of extensive
surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. Though he was warned that
he might never be able to live a normal life again, eight years later
he was fit enough to insist on playing tennis nearly every day[109]
and to launch a hostile takeover of Viacom.[110] Redstone discussed
the story of surviving the fire as a reflection of his strong
determination and will to live.[111]
