Today is the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

The building is now used by NYU for classes and stuff. It would be weird for me to work in a building where 146 people died in a fire.

It was a sad loss of life that day, but that single fire helped change many of the building and fire codes in America. 146 died that day, but its saved an unfathomable number more as a result of the changes.
 
I don't have HBO, so I missed the hour documentary on it that premiered Tuesday night. I need to find a copy of that.
 
I wouldn't want to work or live near the old Coconut Grove in Beantown. Over 400 died in a fire there back in the day.
