I love the history of New York. The following incident occured in 1911. A devestating fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, killing 146 women, many who were teenagers. The girls worked in terrible conditions, were not allowed bathroom breaks, and to make sure they didn't try to leave, the fire exits were locked and baracaded. So when the fire broke out, these poor girls couldn't escape. Some made it out windows and onto other floors of the building, others took their chances and threw themselves out the windows (this reminded me of 9/11). Ppl on the streets below thought the girls were throwing flaming garments out the windows. But when they landed with a sickening 'thud', the ppl realised they were not garments, but bodies of young girls.
Weeks later, the owner of this company started up again a few blocks down. It was noted that the fire exits were once again, blocked... |
