fire that broke out in a bin holding scraps of fabric at the Triangle Waist
Company, just down the block from New York City's Washington Square Park,
quickly spread, fed by cotton garments, tissue paper and wooden fixtures. Though
the building that housed the clothing manufacturer was modern and advertised as
fireproof, the cramped layout of the factory, a locked exit door, a flimsy fire
escape that soon crumpled and inadequate fire department equipment brought a
staggering loss of life. Within a half-hour, 146 workers had died, mostly young
Jewish and Italian women, nearly half still in their teens. Two were only 14.
More than a third of the victims jumped or fell from upper-story windows trying
to escape the flames.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><FONT
face=Arial><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" color=#333333>Triangle commands our
notice in part because of the specifics of the disaster. There is something
particularly horrifying about being trapped in a fire and plummeting through the
air to escape it (so much so that ninety years later, on 9/11, newspapers and
television generally refrained from showing images of people jumping from the
World Trade Center). That so many of the victims were young and female added a
layer of poignancy, as we commonly associate youth, especially young girls, with
innocence, making their deaths seem even more undeserved than those of older
victims of mining explosions and industrial accidents. And the Triangle Fire
took place in the media capital of the country, receiving massive press
coverage, including harrowing photographs difficult to
forget.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><FONT
face=Arial><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" color=#333333>But if the horror of
death, of young life snuffed out, figures centrally in the Triangle story,
particularly as relayed in poetry, fiction and young people's literature, the
story looms large for another reason: it fulfills a deeply held belief, or at
least a yearning to believe, that good can come out of suffering, that death
does not have to be in vain. "Out of the smoke and the flame," not only
"downward dashed the girls," as an Episcopal minister wrote at the time, but
also came a host of government reforms, union advances and a political approach
that at least for a while eliminated many of the worst horrors associated with
industrialization.”</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
