list of victims of triangle shirtwaist fire (Original Post)

(22,845 posts)1. Such a huge tragedy
so many people -- young people -- lost.

(113,329 posts)2. watch the documentary "triangle" from pbs--absolutely heartwrenching
and to think that the owners made a fortune from the fire--beyond obscene.

(30,884 posts)3. So many young women and girls.. it makes me sad each time I hear about it.
At least we know their names and a bit about their lives thanks to documentary writing and films. Countless other faceless, nameless women and girls have died in similar factory tragedies around the world.
The Triangle Shirtwaist fire is a reminder of what happens when business is unfettered by safety regulations and when workers have no voice.
