I seem to have a growing interest in this particular event in history. I wasn't around back then, but even now I still feel sorry for those families :(
I read this book about this fire, but it was like a fiction book you would pick up off the shelf. It's called Uprising by Magaret Peterson Haddix, if anyone wants to find a copy.
@crazycritter007 omg I just commented on that!!!!! It's so good! My teacher didn't ave time to read the entire book, so she just told us the ending lol I LOVE IT!! 2 years later, and I'm looking it up again!!
In gate, we one year, did something on immigrants. My teacher read the book uprising, based from true facts from the fire. About 3 young woman and only one survived the fire to tell the book about her friends AMAZING BOOK you need to read it!!!!!!!
@FakeeLhuv Absolutely. What's not to love about America? The other reason for an exploding defense budget; protecting scumbags like Knight, their trade routes, and their slave goods.
@PawnBACM Don't blame us. It's our idiot jew congress protecting Israel that is the source of our problems. Negroes sold their own into slavery, that wasn't our problem. learn some history.
@FakeeLhuv Their day is coming though. America is a little population in a huge world population. You'll be able to buy tickets to see the dirtbags that run multinational slave corporations drug down the main streets of the places they "develop" in 20 years. That's if the people of America don't take them to task first.
Last year in history class, we learned about the early 1900's and these working conditions. My teacher mentioned this fire and what happened and it really disturbed me. In fact, the whole lessons did! I cant imagine what horrible life these workers had.
"yes without unions we will abandon 100 years of technological advances and tear out all the fire escapes"
Overnight? No. However, those rights will begin to disappear over the course of several decades. Just take a look at how multinational corporations deal with their labor force in countries like China. They''ll pull the same crap in well-developed countries if given the opportunity.
This was a very professional documentary until the maker could not resist the urge to insert his/her favourite pop music tune. Why do some people have this urge? The result is like Al Jolson stepping in front of the narrator and singing "Mammie!" in his loudest voice.
this is like sep 11 bak in the day. wat we need is a common gound not to mmuch power to the worker make them greedy lazy spoil but no to much power to the employer making them like this
Theres a book out about this called Uprising by Margaret Haddix. So far it's really good. It has 3 sides of the story from 3 different girls. Bella who is an Italian looking to save her family back home. Yetta a jewish russian on strike to tell people their cause. Jane daughter of a wealthy buissnesman knowing what it's like to feel helpless. Really people you should read this book!
You pro-union people are nuts. There were no safety laws back then. The laws were not enacted because of benevolent unions, they were enacted because in 1911 they were like, "um, yeah, we can't charge these guys with killed 200 hundred girls because there are no safety regulations. We should probably change that." It's just common sense. The free market will easily determine wages. If you don't like your job and you want better benefits, go to school and get a better job, or start a corp.
@Acloocca "cOMMON SENSE" you mean like locking these people in their cages like animals? You mean like the common sense of sending children to working in dangerous mines? How can someone be so FUCKING stupid?
@TheFrankFactor You need to learn how to read. That's exactly what I was saying. You an I both agree that it's COMMON SENSE to not lock kids in cages or have them in mines.
@Acloocca idk. it dosent really apply for things like that because women didnt have rights back then. they chose the jobs because they HAD to support they're family. the people who hired them chose how much they paid and without Unions there were no rules..if you wanted the hjob, thats what you took. there was no better option. so yes i think that the managers should take the blame.
@Acloocca Human nature is the same, its worst expressions (exploiting other people) have been put in check somewhat by unions and laws regulating workplace safety and the 40-hour work week. These changes came about only because human tragedies on a large scale--he Triangle Shirtwaist company fire was just one--shamed those who9 had been fighting recent wages safe working conditions and a 40-h9our work week into yielding to decency.
@Loissa42 You misunderstand what I'm saying. Back then there were still public hangings and lynching of black people. I agree with you that that was a different time. Unions WERE important. But the retards like in the "top comments" that says, "YEAH UNIONS! If we lose unions then all our kids are going back to work!", is so stupid that's is hard to imagine that 25 other retards "liked" it. We don't let kids work now because society realizes how stupid it was to allow it in the first place.
@Acloocca You have absolutely no clue about history. Unions are responsible for safety measures you dolt. I love the "go start a corporation" line, too. Sounds so easy! Everyone could be rich if they just went out and tried, huh? What planet are you from again?
@vlorasuma96 some did survive, some women made it down the fire escape before it collapsed. However, only one jumper lived but she died within the week.
I'm glad that we have laws to prevent this now. I hope that other countries will too. Great video!
hey you black man I am fully agree with you and in my personal life too I prefer 5 black men at a time because you dudes somehow make me do whatever you want me do. And oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah only you black dudes can sexually satisfy any women and being a white woman I can vouch for that.
i am a large and very handsome muscular brotha..and i am very happy dat in 9/11 attacks a lot of small penised white men are brutally killed now their women must be all alone..now we black bulls can openly gangbang them in VARIOUS POSITIONS..now these white sluts will know dat why only we are real men ..they will admit at only black men can satisfy dam because our penis is unusually loooooooooooooooooong..
@nigga33dikka hey you black man I am fully agree with you and in my personal life too I prefer 5 black men at a time because you dudes somehow make me do whatever you want me do. And oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah only you black dudes can sexually satisfy any women and being a white woman I can vouch for that.
Thanks för this video. Yesterday I saw the movie about the Triangle Factory Fire. Nearly exact 100 years after the fire. I was really touched by the women's working conditions, their struggle to survive on a very small salery and I was really sad for all of them who died and was injured.
I heard about this place too, where lots of factory women were killed in a fire and there is a fire burning in another country just happen this month.
No excuse for bad LIFELESS production and stoopid music mix. If it was students their instructor should have done better. And min wage??? means crappy quality? Of course it is a TRUE story. On friday March 25th I was at the 100th comemoration to the exact minute of the fire. It means a great deal to me.
The quality of this blows! The narration is bad reading and lifeless. The music is scary stoopid. Even the reading of Thud Dead, Thud Dead is horrible! Oh my god they use some crappy version of Dust in the Wind too... haha terrible!
@fotogbill the saddest part of all this is where this is a true story, and all you got from it was how bad the quality was. Maybe they were just college students or they were only getting paid min wage.
The quality of this blows! The narration is bad reading and lifeless. The music is scary stoopid. Even the reading of Thud Dead, Thud Dead is horrible!
9-11 New York 1-11 Haiti 3-11 Japan Triangle Fire 1911 Strange Luke 21:10-11 Then Jesus Said to his disiples 'Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, Famines and prestilences in various places, there will be fearful events and great signs from Heaven'. Jesus Says 'For behold i come quickly' So ask yourself are you ready?? I starting to believe 11 is not very lucky #
I found myself almost in tears watching this. It reminded me of the documentary that the Wake Up Walmart people put out a few years ago, specifically the scenes of the factory workers overseas. Watching this definitely made me think twice about buying cheap labor goods.
@lilpmac1 we already are. i know some people who work an 8 to 10 hour shift with no lunch break and no scheduled 15 minute break either. it is of course a non union place. sad to think this goes on in 2011 in the USA.
Yes, our gov't will lay over and not deem the laws and regulations they have set in the last 100 years as appropriate.
Unions don't set the laws, they operate within them to the full extent. The unions were great back in the day when laws were not yet established, and they could protect workers, but with the advancement in laws and regulations the Unions now just protect the worthless workers, effectively lowering the wages for all good employees.
@lilpmac1 yes! industry's will willingly go back to early 1900's machinery and levels of production the second i don't have to pay a union due..........
Did you do this for National History Day? because my friend and i are doing this for our national history day/ final documentary and i was wondering if you had any tips/ how far you got in the competition?
My history teacher showed the class this pbs video about The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911. It was really sad. The part that stuck with me the most was the mas describing the bodies dropping from the higher floors. "Thud. Dead. Thud. Dead. Thud. Dead. Thud. Dead." Haunting.
My history class watched this mini-doc today, when one of the survivors gave their account of trauma, many of the students broke out in laughter. I was ashamed to be in the classroom.
We had to watch this video in my Theology class. Our teacher had us come to school the next day and treat us like we were working in a sweatshop,as a lesson or experiment,sorta.I can tell you now it wasn't fun and it wasn't funny. We really felt like workers. I'm glad that at my school we learn about these types of things. It's sad, but a lesson.
If you are very much into this Triangle Fire, then you should read the book, uprising. It follows the tale of three young girls involved in the fire. They are fictional, but realistic. There are two immigrant girls, and one clueless, American wealthy girl. It brought me to tears. I highly recommend this book.
@megmatomic i just finished reading this book and looked this up. that was a very sad story. it's a shame that a majority of that book was on the strike but it has barely a mention in any papers. I mean like no one cared that these girls were beaten daily?
The plight of the american underclass/industrial worker is still alive. Many of these sweatshops conditions are still prevalent in nyc. The only difference is that their now populated with chinese workers.
why do we try to keep things like this forgotten? I mean i never heard of this in high school. they also kinda forgot to tell us about the ludlow massacre. hmmm...why do i smell a rat?
anyway, why am i not suprised the rich cocksuckers that owned the place got away with murder?
Your right this was tragic I am writing a paper for a history class dealing with "Progressivism and the Republican Roosevelt". By the way the song at the end of this is called "Dust in the Wind" not sure who is the original artist though
That was horrible. I'm actually looking at this vid as an assignment from my MGT 402 (Labor Relations) class. Anyone knows the title of the song at the end?
This disaster must be commemorated in the stone and iron of New York City. The fact that the women who perished in the oven of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company have not yet been sufficiently memorialized is a disgrace. This city must create a timeless memorial to the incinerated and fallen victims as a lesson to all of the consequences of vicious greed and unearned power in the hands of the heartless.
okay well all of u people are wrong because the video says that there were 500 workers and 146 poeple died and 123 were women and girls and 2 victims were only 14. so i think this is as bad as 911.
That is so not true. This is almost as bad as 911. All 500 people in there died from being burned to death, or some jumped to there deaths in panic. The woman and young girls were choked with heavy smoke. If you guys don't care about woman history, fuck you guys, go burn in hell. Maybe, if you could be half as deciated as these women, you'd learn something. Get your head out of your asses. Fuck. You.
Dark, you silly goose! Only 146 women died. They even said it in the video. Anyways, the owners are fags, because they most likely started it. They had two other incidents like this, and they made more money from insurance money. Just like this one >.>
Aha. Well, that maybe true, but stillll. Its just the point so many woman died. But you got to admit. Not many women are in history books. :l NOT RIGHT!
Almost as bad as 9/11? As horrible as this was there is a massive difference between the death toll and the circumstances (minus negligence) in both cases. And there are plenty of women in history...
Don't ask, I'm not the one writing theses, my bestie is. I don't know. I frankly, don't understand why they would lock woman inside the buidling but i can't do much about it.
darkwolfkira. Actually, not all who died in the fire were women. A number of men died, including Jacob, Morris , and Moses Bernstein, Abraham Binevitz, K. Dorman, Jacob Feizer, Max Lehrer, Abe and Max Levine, Abraham Robinowitz, Israel and Louis Rosen, Theodore Rother, Jacob Seizer, Samuel Tabick, Meyer Utal, Joseph Wilson. You are very young. Death comes to both sexes. Fire doesn't care. It was a garment factory. If it had been a steel mill more men would have died than women.
It is a horrible waste of American history that no one comments or cares about this devastating occurrence in our past. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

@xxPatheticEmoxx Laughter? How horrible? I read a book about that fire. It was horrific.

We had to watch this video in my Theology class. Our teacher had us come to school the next day and treat us like we were working in a sweatshop,as a lesson or experiment,sorta.I can tell you now it wasn't fun and it wasn't funny. We really felt like workers. I'm glad that at my school we learn about these types of things. It's sad, but a lesson.

@puppieluv2345 I was taught this just about two months ago in history.
It didn't go nearly as in depth as this. It just said that the women tried to get out and they died from the flames.

If you are very much into this Triangle Fire, then you should read the book, uprising. It follows the tale of three young girls involved in the fire. They are fictional, but realistic. There are two immigrant girls, and one clueless, American wealthy girl. It brought me to tears. I highly recommend this book.

@megmatomic i just finished reading this book and looked this up. that was a very sad story. it's a shame that a majority of that book was on the strike but it has barely a mention in any papers. I mean like no one cared that these girls were beaten daily?

The plight of the american underclass/industrial worker is still alive. Many of these sweatshops conditions are still prevalent in nyc. The only difference is that their now populated with chinese workers.

Your right this was tragic I am writing a paper for a history class dealing with "Progressivism and the Republican Roosevelt". By the way the song at the end of this is called "Dust in the Wind" not sure who is the original artist though

That was horrible. I'm actually looking at this vid as an assignment from my MGT 402 (Labor Relations) class. Anyone knows the title of the song at the end?

This disaster must be commemorated in the stone and iron of New York City. The fact that the women who perished in the oven of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company have not yet been sufficiently memorialized is a disgrace. This city must create a timeless memorial to the incinerated and fallen victims as a lesson to all of the consequences of vicious greed and unearned power in the hands of the heartless.

okay well all of u people are wrong because the video says that there were 500 workers and 146 poeple died and 123 were women and girls and 2 victims were only 14. so i think this is as bad as 911.
Loren32608 2 years ago
That is so not true. This is almost as bad as 911. All 500 people in there died from being burned to death, or some jumped to there deaths in panic. The woman and young girls were choked with heavy smoke. If you guys don't care about woman history, fuck you guys, go burn in hell. Maybe, if you could be half as deciated as these women, you'd learn something. Get your head out of your asses. Fuck. You.

Dark, you silly goose! Only 146 women died. They even said it in the video. Anyways, the owners are fags, because they most likely started it. They had two other incidents like this, and they made more money from insurance money. Just like this one >.>
But who knows? No proof of how it started
Kizzahlol 2 years ago
Aha. Well, that maybe true, but stillll. Its just the point so many woman died. But you got to admit. Not many women are in history books. :l NOT RIGHT!

@Kizzahlol actually there is proof the men who cut the fabric smoked and it says that one of them put a cigarette out accedentaly in a fabrics bin

Almost as bad as 9/11? As horrible as this was there is a massive difference between the death toll and the circumstances (minus negligence) in both cases. And there are plenty of women in history...

Don't ask, I'm not the one writing theses, my bestie is. I don't know. I frankly, don't understand why they would lock woman inside the buidling but i can't do much about it.

darkwolfkira. Actually, not all who died in the fire were women. A number of men died, including Jacob, Morris , and Moses Bernstein, Abraham Binevitz, K. Dorman, Jacob Feizer, Max Lehrer, Abe and Max Levine, Abraham Robinowitz, Israel and Louis Rosen, Theodore Rother, Jacob Seizer, Samuel Tabick, Meyer Utal, Joseph Wilson. You are very young. Death comes to both sexes. Fire doesn't care. It was a garment factory. If it had been a steel mill more men would have died than women.

It is a horrible waste of American history that no one comments or cares about this devastating occurrence in our past. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
