The Triangle Shirtwaist fire:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Triangle Shirtwaist fire led to much-needed safety legislation, such as the New York State Labor Law and the establishment of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. It was not the worst fire in U.S. history (the worst was the Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin in 1871), there were casualties (146 people died), the business was not destroyed, it did not occur during the Uprising of the 20,000, and it did not result in laws that banned all manufacturing in New York.
