and a third, where coverage of the fire shared a page with a three-column ad for Saks clothing https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1911/03/26/104859694.pdf …pic.twitter.com/7NRZTCZCyL
Pages four and five of the original Triangle fire coverage. The page on the left includes an early list of the victims, as well as an account of how the owners of the factory survived the "maddened throng of employees." (huh.)pic.twitter.com/jZD1E9iJYk
(As an aside, page 4 also includes a list of other notable disasters. It never fails to surprise me when olde journalism and newish journalism rely on the same gameplan.)pic.twitter.com/xG64nOar5a
Page 5 includes a story (you can read it here https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1911/03/26/104859701.pdf …) about how the company ignored fire experts' warnings.pic.twitter.com/ihxIYzLvpZ
I think the final piece of the first day's coverage of the shirtwaist fire was this small editorial. It includes the sentence "the building in which the fire occurred was unquestionably of fireproof construction."pic.twitter.com/9QJMLZeFDS
Anyway, the David von Drehle book from a while back is a really worthwhile read on the subject.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RPY48I/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …
There are, of course, a bunch of podcasts that have done very good episodes on Triangle. Here's @MissedinHistory: https://www.missedinhistory.com/podcasts/fire-at-the-triangle-shirtwaist-factory.htm …
And here's a very very early @BoweryBoys http://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2008/04/triangle-factory-fire-of-1911_12.html …
and @WNYC's roundup of vintage audiohttps://www.wnyc.org/story/119940-listen-wnyc-archives-triangle-shirtwaist-fire/ …
in 2011, for the 100th anniversary of the Triangle fire, the Times had a lot of anniversary coverage, collected here in all its 2011-blog-era taxonomic glory: https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/triangle-shirtwaist-factory-fire/ …
One of the pieces that sticks with you from that 100th anniversary series is this one, interviewing the living relatives of the fire's victims. “We never forgot her,” one said. “And I don’t want her memory to die.”https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/triangle-fire-clinging-to-scraps-of-memories/ …
It wasn't until 2011, 100 years after the shirtwaist fire, that the final six victims were officially identified.https://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/21/nyregion/21triangle.html …
The last survivor of the Triangle fire, Rose Freedman, died in 2001. "The factory relocated within days of the fire, but Rose Rosenfeld never returned. Instead, she went to college."https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/30/magazine/the-lives-they-lived-rose-freedman-b-1893-out-of-the-fire.html …
