"Turns out I’ve been walking past the site of the Triangle Fire for months now, but never realized because there’s no marker besides the three plaques on a less populated intersection than the one next to Washington Square Park. Such an important event demands more, which hopefully they’re now getting around to."
"This was an extremely tragic story & there should be more of a recognition of the soul that were so tragically lost."
"A landmark that highlights what will absolutely happen again if we deregulate the rich and greedy that run and own everything. What happened here is 147 people died in a fire because the factory owners locked the workers inside the building. Lesson: don’t ever trust a rich/wealthy person. Or do so at your own peril."
"It was great to visit this important historic landmark. I can't wait until they finish a monument to the workers' lives lost. An Injury to One is an Injury to All!"
"Just another building in NYC. I wouldn't suggest going out of your way unless you are a huge history buff coming to pay tribute to those lost during the fire tragedy or you attend NYU."
