A dropped match on the 8th floor sparked a fire that killed over a hundred innocent people trapped inside.

On March 25th, 1911, a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York's Greenwich Village. The blaze ripped through the congested loft; huge piles of trimmings

fed the flames. Petrified workers desperately tried to make their way downstairs, but the factory owners kept the doors on the 9th floor locked and the woefully inadequate fire escape soon crumpled. Hundreds of horrified on-lookers arrived just in time to see young men and women jumping from the windows.
By the time the fire had burned itself out, 146 people were dead...workplace safetyreform resulted. Triangle Fire: American Experience...8pm
