Dear Editor,

            I am writing this letter to you as a previous worker and also a survivor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. I was on the tenth floor when and where the fire started. The fire made me feel helpless. It had me thinking about my life what I have done with it and the things I have accomplished in it. Its like my life flashed before my eyes and I had to get out of there the only way I knew how. But it left us all stuck in shock and more then anything helpless. I think a lot of changes need to be made. Like you should keep the doors to ALL exits unlocked at all times because you may never know what will happen. Also make sure all of the equipment is working. I will protest with more victims from the fire. I will write a letter to whom ever I need. I will even sue for the hundred of lives you have lost because of your dangerous work conditions. People lives should be more important then the money and your work. Because with out people how would you make money.

Sincerely,

Rochelle Gladney, A victim of the fire
