It was also the deadliest disaster in New York City until the destruction of the World Trade Center 90 years later. The fire caused the deaths of 146 garment workers, who either died from the fire or jumped to their deaths. Most of the victims were recent Jewish and Italian immigrant women aged sixteen to twenty-three; the oldest victim was 48, the youngest were two fourteen-year-old girls. Many of the workers could not escape the burning building because the managers had locked the doors to the stairwells and exits. People jumped from the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors. The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, which fought for better working conditions for sweatshop workers.Fact Findernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10075831.post-90963448749251492122011-08-15T18:25:16.942+00:002011-08-15T18:25:16.942+00:00Mair please fur the REAL auld boays.Mair please fur the REAL auld boays.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10075831.post-59823880811120863742011-08-15T18:24:23.323+00:002011-08-15T18:24:23.323+00:00This is better thin sittn ower the Shore wi a scud...This is better thin sittn ower the Shore wi a scuddy mag.Pipe n Baffiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10075831.post-91658852545355082872011-08-15T18:23:18.928+00:002011-08-15T18:23:18.928+00:00Noo wur talkin sonny!Noo wur talkin sonny!Auld Boay thit Yased ti Sit oan the Foondry Windae Ledgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10075831.post-78534887979991119942011-08-14T21:10:12.261+00:002011-08-14T21:10:12.261+00:00Phwoar!!Phwoar!!Chairly Dikkinsnoreply@blogger.com
