The Triangle Shirtwaist fire started in a fabric company occupying floors 8-10 of a 10 storey building. The workers were women and girls who were 15 and up. The fire was so horrible that people jumped out the window because they were afraid of burning to death. The metal fire escape failed under the weight of the many people trying to escape on it. One of the famous people who worked there was a guy named Max Blank.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris.
