Dani is joined by friends LeeAnna and Riker, and they kind of stumble into discussing how horrible safety conditions were in the turn of the century New York City. They discuss the PS General Slocum ship disaster that killed 1500 (mostly) women and children in full view of bystanders on the East River shorelines. Then they get to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, which killed 150 (mostly) young immigrant girls, also in front of thousands of witnesses, and which led to massive workplace safety changes. And finally, they touch on the horrendous tale of the Radium Girls, which will be discussed more fully at a later date, for sure.
Please keep in mind that for the most part Dani is talking from memory. If you have corrections, comments, or suggestions, feel free to contact us on Instagram, Twitter, Patreon, or Facebook @okaysonyc
