Dear Editor

I am a surviving victim of the triangle shirt factor fire. This fire hurt me emotionally and physically it left me scars that no one should ever have. I’m angry at this factory because of the lack of safety and I’m going to protest this triangle factory because it did not provide a safe working environment. I lost a many working friend in the fire I look everywhere for them but could never find her. After I got out I was one of the last people to get out of that tragic fire. I am writing this to tell you my story of what happened on that day. And so that you may support me in shutting down this factory an never have anyone experience this ever again. The water hoes for some reason was not working, one fire escape was lock, and the other one clapped right after the fire started. The smell of burning flesh, and the agonizing screams of girls 16 or 17 burning, dyeing, I was one of the lucky one I made it out alive. But the most tragic seen was watching those girls jump off those floors and fall to the ground. No one should ever experience this and should never feel my pain. I hope these words help make you understand what I went through an so that you will support me in my protest. I think they need to make working fire escapes and working fire hoes.
