Do you want the waste from this dumped in a river upstream from you?
On March 25, 1911, on three floors of the Asch Building in Manhattan, young immigrant women from across Europe were making clothing for the Triangle Waist Company. On that fateful day a fire broke out. There was no time to escape, and really nowhere to escape to. There was only one fire escape, and it collapsed. Doors were locked to prevent theft and unauthorized breaks. They also opened the wrong way, and many of the young women were trampled trying to escape. Long tables and machinery blocked escape routes for many of the workers. There was no sprinkler system, and there were no fire extinguishers. Fire department ladders were not long enough to reach the eighth, ninth, and 10th floors.
That day saw the deaths of 123 young women and 23 men. The youngest victim was 14 years old.
Let's talk about 'job-killing' regulations
Thank goodness Obama stopped that pollution.
When did he stop it?
