Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, 1911: world_tragedies
http://world-tragedies.livejournal.com/2342.html
Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, 1911. On Saturday, March 25, 1911 at 4:40 - just ten minutes before closing - a fire broke out on the top floors of the ten story Asch building in New York. 145 of the 500 employed there died that day, trapped in the building by locked doors and collapsed escape ladders, or jumping to their deaths from the eighth and ninth stories. In the end there was only superficial damage to the "fireproof" building, but 145 workers had lost their lives and more were injured. The aftermath o...

Did anyone catch The Plague or The Next Plague on the History Channel…: world_tragedies
http://world-tragedies.livejournal.com/2983.html
Did anyone catch The Plague. Or The Next Plague. On the History Channel last night? Two very good programs on one of history's deadliest diseases, and the possible results of the next pandemic. Both very good, I hope they re-run them. It was worth catching. Pointed out was that there's nothing we can really do to prevent it, and when it hits, there's not a lot we'll be able to do but let it run its course. The only real thing we can arm ourselves with is knowledge. Post a new comment. Post a new comment.

Coconut Grove Fire: world_tragedies
http://world-tragedies.livejournal.com/1471.html
One of the great tragedies of Boston was the November 28, 1942, Coconut Grove fire. The Piedmont Street club in the Bay Village neighborhood was filled with people, some on military leave, others celebrating the Holy Cross romping of Boston College, and still others enjoying a night out on the town. Studies of the fire also show that the refrigerator coolant, methyl chloride, was a cause of some of the deaths in the fire. Survivors said there was a burst of blue flame in the corner of the nightclub w...

The Great London Fire of 1666. Someone else brought this to my attention, who I'm sure will take credit for it, when it's time. All the links herein come from www.channel4.com, a british site with a plethora of information. This is definitely going in the "We Remember" Section. By killing or driving off large numbers of the rats that carried the plague-ridden fleas. Information was gotten from this amazing site. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

The Hartford Circus Fire. Okay, so this will be my first real contribution to this community. I think I'll start with what's been holding my interest lately. The Hartford Circus Fire. Mom tells you that you're going to go to the circus tomorrow. You tell all your friends and everyone is so jealous, but by then end of the day, half the kids on your block have convinced their parents to let them go to. You fall asleep that night and dream happy circus dreams. You'll never forget the sight of that magnifice...

http://world-tragedies.livejournal.com/2684.html
Researchers Reconstruct the 1918 Influenza Virus. It's been a very long time coming, but it looks like researchers have finally isolated and recreated the 1918 influenza virus. This CNN article. All in all, the influenza killed more people then WWI, somewhere upwards of 40 million people. It even inspired a skipping rhyme:. I had a little bird,. Its name was Enza. I opened the window,. Nothing worked, and none of the volunteers got sick. Scientists remained baffled. Post a new comment. We will log you in...

Galveston Hurricane: world_tragedies

This is my first writeup for this group - feedback and questions welcomed! Summary of Events (cribbed largely from Isaac's Storm, by Erik Larson). Over the afternoon, as the wind blew harder and harder, people began to seek refuge. Some of the first deaths occurred when a group of men continued their business luncheon in the popular Ritter's Cafe and Saloon. A gust of wind took off the roof, killing two men instantly and badly hurting five more. The waiter they sent for the doctor drowned. And if you sav...

The Monongah Mining Disaster of 1907: world_tragedies
http://world-tragedies.livejournal.com/2178.html
The Monongah Mining Disaster of 1907. I grew up listening to "The New York Mining Disaster, 1941" by the BeeGees. In fact, for awhile when I was really little, it was one of my favorite songs. I've been trying to find out what disaster that song referred to, but I've had no luck so far. As far as I can tell it's not a real disaster. But the lyrics were very striking. In the event of something happening to me,. There is something I would like you all to see. It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.
