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
