Thank you for this. It is a much needed reminder of inhumane working conditions in America and internationally. There are still sweat shops. Both immigrants and nonimmigrants who are desperate will work in unsafe conditions.

IIRC, only one of them is American born, and the victims were as young as 12. The documentary I saw included descendants of the owners of the Triangle Factory, which gave it an interesting twist.
