1. Such a huge tragedy

so many people -- young people -- lost.

[niyad]

2. watch the documentary "triangle" from pbs--absolutely heartwrenching

and to think that the owners made a fortune from the fire--beyond obscene.

[Gormy Cuss]

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.
