On March 25, 1911, a massive fire killed 146 mostly female and immigrant workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York’s Lower East Side. When the fire broke out, many workers were trapped behind doors that had been locked to prevent them from taking breaks or stealing scraps of fabric. Those who died either burned to death or jumped from the upper floors to escape the flames.
