Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

According to an editorial by history.com., the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire which occurred on 25th of March, 1911 killed about 145 workers.

On this day, there were over 60 scores of people at work in the factory which had deplorable working conditions, no sprinklers and only one of the four elevators was functional. The fire had started in a rag bin and as it raged on, the already dysfunctional fire hose was ineffective against it.

As the fire raged on, it resulted in a panic.

The panic led to people trying to get out of the building via the elevator. Due to the panic, the operator was forced to take more than the recommended 12 people. The elevator soon gave way before the fifth trip causing some girls to plunge down the shaft to their demise.

Those who tried to use the staircase also died tragically. They were burnt alive.

There those who tried to jump from the 18th floor onto the life net spread out by the firefighters. Because the life net was also dysfunctional it couldn't hold the two people who jumped into it. The net was useless too.

According to history.com, in 18 minutes the fire had claimed one hundred and forty fire people.
