Triangle Factory Fire


The Triangle Factory fire was one of the deadliest industrial accidents in New York. The fire cause 146 deaths of both men and women immigrant workers. Many people died from smoke inhalation, the fire, and jumping or falling to their deaths. The managers had locked the stair ways and exits, therefore, most people could not escape the flames. The picture I chose shows just how big the fire was because of the amount of smoke. You can also see the firefighters desperately trying to put out the flames to save as many lives as they can.
