On March 25, 1911, as workers were getting ready to leave for the day, a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York's Greenwich Village. Within minutes it spread to consume the building's upper three stories. With ladders too short for a rescue, firemen had to watch in horror, along with hundreds on the street, as desperate workers jumped to their deaths. The final toll was 146 people-123 of them women. It was the worst industrial disaster in New York City history until 9/11.

review I thought it was an interesting read. Sad though. Not as good as i expected. maybe because i did not really care much about the politics.
Had to guess when I finished it.
