What began as a beautiful spring day in March 1911 ended up being the worst single-day disaster and loss of life in New York City up until Sept. 11, 2001.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire not only caused the deaths of 146 immigrant pieceworkers, but also provided the spark to incite the Labor-Reform Movement and scores of fire and building code improvements.

The fire, which lasted sparsely more than a half-hour, devastated the largest Shirt Waist factory in the city and shined a light on some of the most egregious fire and building code violations at that time. It would still be years before reforms finally took root, but the sacrifices made by the workers that died that day may have saved countless others. These are their stories.
