A Day of Sadness · 5:22am Mar 25th, 2020
Fellow members of FIMFiction, I would like to point out the date of today. The 25th of March, 2020. The day of the most infamous industrial incident in U.S. History.
109 years ago, on the same date, a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York killed 146, sparking a wave of reforms that lead to a rapid restructuring of industry safety standards and other things that led to the industry as we know it today. Those 146 souls died, so that others in the future may live. All I ask is for a moment of silence for those who died that day. May they rest in peace.
