Tanya Ozorio Reflection 7

Wow wow wow! After watching the “Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire” and “Triangle Returns” breaks my heart! It’s crazy how this is my first time hearing about this! So heartbreaking. They said this was the “deadliest workplace disaster in NYC history” Until the event of September 11. I am happy that there was no other factory made because this was labor. Immigrant women working 12 hour shifts, hot, sewing shirtwaist. Thats illegal! “As women clawed their way out” they found their fingernail! Oh my god, this is insane. There was no way out to escape! People jumped out of the building so their family can have their body instead of ashes. People that were in the streets thought it was piles of clothes and not bodys jumping out. The fire escape collapsed! The stairs emergency doors didn’t open from inside because they thought they were going to steal the clothes. And the owners were found not guilt that’s so crazy! It took this disaster to happen to take charge, to install sprinklers, doors to open out and not in. Its sad how this is actually still happening in different countries! This really breaks my heart. And for the amount that they get! Theres a factory in India that makes the clothes for H&M, I think Zara also, and the amount of money that they make, for all the working hours they do and the chemicals that aren’t good for them that’s being inhaled! And in the Triangle Returns, he’s talking about the Gap and Walmart. This is crazy! I really hate the world we are living in.
