This video was very good. I loved how it showed how the triangle shirtwaist fire affected the family memebers of those who died in it. It was a very emotional and tragic ended but this is what the reality was. Good job guys !

Awesome video, it looks very real, the pictures you guys have fit perfectly and it would be easy to believe that the voice speaking is the actual voice of the girl, Clara, Great job!!

I love how you showed a lot of emotion throughout your story and what everyone was feeling. Also, I think it was great how you portrayed this story to a real life event because that's probably how a lot of women felt when the fire broke out.

This showed how an average immigrant's life changed after the tragic loss of her mother. Alot of emotion is showed through your voices, particularly during the fire. It really caught my attention, and showed how upset the people really were during that time. -Danny

I liked that the story was about a mother who lost her life in the triangle shirtwaist fire and how her daughter's life changed. I couldn't imagine what the families of the victims felt. The story was very touching!

You capture an important part of our history. The women jumped from the top floors because they had been locked in and were unable to leave via the doors. Thanks for posting.
