Merger with Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire
editThe Brown Building of Science is the same exact building as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. This article provides no new information other than the University banner at the bottom. I propose this article be redirected to Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.--Marcbela (talk) 20:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree and have been following the conversation you started at the wp:nrhp talk page dm (talk) 03:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't know how to place comments, here, but I see this building almost every day, and I haven't noticed any plaques. I think they were removed. This memory is not good for the NYU business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.93.16 (talk) 13:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Triangle fire misconceptions
editI've removed most of the information on the fire, as it was factually inaccurate. According to reliable sources such as David von Drehle's book Triangle, the fire didn't kill 100 women: it killed 150 people, including men, women, and children. On the other hand, many others (likely around 300) escaped. The exits weren't "all" locked; one probably was, but hundreds of workers escaped via the other available exits. The causes of the deaths are much more convoluted than "they locked all the doors and left girls to die". --NellieBly (talk) 02:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
What's the correct name of the building?
editIs it "Triangle Shirtwaist" or "Triangle Waist"?
NY Times:
Correction: February 16, 2011
An article on Tuesday about an artist who is commemorating the 100th anniversary of a famous factory fire in Manhattan misstated, in some editions, the name of the company that owned the factory. It was the Triangle Waist Company, not the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. An Inside The Times capsule summary also misstated the name.

yet, a week later: In the Cemetery of the Evergreens on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, there is a haunting stone monument to the garment workers who died in the Triangle shirtwaist [a] factory fire of 1911 but were never identified.
(story continues by following the work of a researcher who identified more of the missing)
