Answer:

The Triangle shirtwaist fire was one of the deadliest disaster in the history of industrial disasters.The disaster happened in the Greenwich village Near to Manhattan,New York city on March 25,1911.

As a result of this fire the Eye witnesses helped formulate the American society of safety Professionals on October 4,1911.

Explanation:

The fire took the lives of 146 people most of them were women and young girls mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants.

The fire started on the 8th and 9th floor of Asch building where the Triangle waist company that manufactured blouses for ladies called shirtwaist was located.The workers were unable to escape because all the emergency exits were locked at the time to avoid them having unauthorized breaks hence a lot of people ended up jumping.

New York times also suggested at the time that the fire was started by the owners of the industry Max  Blanck and Isaac Harris to claim insurance.

The fire department arrived but they had ladders that reached only the 7th floor,

As a result of the fire the New York  state legislature created factory Investigating commission to investigate industries and their conditions.

The Tempietto del Bramante dates back to 1502, and it was erected as a “martyrium” to remember the execution of St. Peter. Below the round room there is a crypt, where a plaque on the floor protects the hole that was supposedly left from the cross of St. Peter.

The building was ordered by the Spanish royal family because of a vow made for the birth of their first son, John, who dies in 1497.
