The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire happened on March 25, 1911. The owner kept the factory doors locked and as a result 146 people either died in the fire or jumped to their deaths. The owners were acquitted of manslaughter, but did have to pay $75 per person they killed. The owners made $60,000 profit due to the insurance payout. Two years later in 1913, the one of the owners was arrested for locking his factory doors, again, and fined $20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fi... |
