EP 3: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

This week on Hashtag History, we are diving into the tragic story of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire which killed 146 people on March 25, 1911 in Manhattan, New York. So why didn't the one and only fire escape work? Why was the door to the stairs that led outside locked? Why was there no water when the emergency water valves were turned? And just how many other ways could this incident have been prevented? Check out this episode to find out!
