What is the triangle shirtwaste fire?
The Triangle Shirtwaste Fire occurred in what is now the NYU Chemistry Building. The fire is most notable for leading to a drastic change in workers rights. The fire began in the top floors and quickly spread. The workers (mainly women and girls that had recently immigrated) were locked inside of the building doing their jobs. As the fire took hold in the building, there were no viable exits or fire escapes by which to escape the fire, leading to many of the workers jumping out of the building to their deaths and many others being burned alive. As a result of the fire, legislation was passed to gain more rights for the workers of New York. * Doors that opened outward * Fire escapes that went to ground floor

What is the shape of the building?
It was built in a triangle shape. It was built that way because of Broadway. Except for Lower Manhattan, New York City is arranged on a square grid pattern. Broadway ruins this neat little grid pattern by running in a diagonal line north/south through practically all of Manhattan. Since Broadway bisects some of the rectangular-shaped blocks diagonally, one large rectangular block becomes two smaller triangular blocks. There are more than a few of them dotted around the city, actually. However, even though Broadway appears to cut diagonally through Manhattan, it actually runs in a straight, true north/south line up and down Manhattan and New York State. Instead, it's Manhattan that's crooked. All of New York City is built on an eastward slant. Manhattan points northeast, not true north. Broadway starts out in Lower Manhattan and runs north all the way through Manhattan and then almost all the way up through New York State to Canada! It's not called Broadway the whole way, but it's the same street/road. It is the longest street in the world, actually. So, the Flatiron Building was built in the shape of a triangle because the block that it sits upon is shaped that way.
