The uneventful fire on Saturday afternoon March 23, 1911, started on the 8th floor and lay out all the way to 9th and 10th floor in a factory in Manhattan. What started off as a normal pay day turned into devastated efforts to escape. Insecure elevators, collapsing of fire escapes because of excess weight, women and girls jumped to their deaths as fire nets could not hold them. The rapidly spreading fire killed 146 workers many of whom were young women recently arrived from Europe, had a little time or opportunity to escape (Michaels, 2011). Description of the eyewitnesses were vivid, women onlookers fainting, men onlookers crying, women from the factory were consumed by fire while they were contemplating whether or not to jump. They were trapped by flames, pressed by the advancing blaze, workers began leaping and tumbling to their deaths on sidewalk. Other workers perished in the flames
