Triangle Fire
Lets Head Out The Fire Escape!...
What Fire Escape?
Once upon a time, in an age of laissez-faire, there erupted a horrible fire in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Usually fires aren’t as a big of a deal in comparison to other natural disasters such as earthquakes. But when the number of deaths pass 100 from a fire, something must be wrong in that picture. Statistically, fires have only had a few deaths as total and a number of people who are injured. But during this time, reality hit and the world discovered the hidden truth of manufacturers. So many things were taking place during this time, from workers being mistreated and overused to the low pay rate that many people had to deal with.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was an event that held relevance in American history. On March, 25, 1911 at approximately 4:40 PM a fire broke out in the company's factory in New York City which was the deadliest industrial disaster. 147 workers died in that incident, they either died from the fire or jumped from the window. It was considered the most tragic fire incident in New York City. "The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment workers' Union, which fought for better and safer working conditions for sweatshop workers in that industry" (Wikipedia)
To a large extent, the Triangle Shirtwaist fire brought about many strikes and was a disaster that still lives among us (affecting us nowadays). This disaster then again lives with us for good. It will remind us for whom we have neglected upon. This way we can support the working world, as we will get the same sociability from them and others by cooperating. The fire that occurred was in many ways a disaster. However many people throughout the world (especially workers), are thankful that it led to realizing the lives of the poor workers throughout the country.
The fire occurred due to the poor and unsafe working
