Shades of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. The owner had locked all the exits to prevent employee pilferage. That plus inadequate fire escapes and fire equipment, killed 146, mostly young girls working as seamstresses.

My great-grandmother worked at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. She left her employment when she got married - just a few months before the fire. She lost a lot of friends in it.
