154 Killed in Factory Fire.
"I rushed downstairs, and when I reached the sidewalk, the girls were already jumping from the windows. They stood on the window sills tearing their hair out in handfuls, and then they jumped. One girl held back after all the rest and clung to the window casing until the flames from the window below crept up to her and set her clothing on fire. Then she jumped far over the net and was killed instantly, like all the rest.
Benjamin Levy, witness to the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire 1911.
