Garment Factory Fire

PostBy: samhill On: Sun Nov 25, 2012 9:58 am

http://www.windstream.net/news/read.php ... 3E&ps=1012 Could it happen here "again" I know it's happened before & there are now laws but we all know laws are at times ignored. Does anyone think there are still sweat shops where something like this could happen?

The Station nightclub fire was the fourth deadliest nightclub fire in American history, killing 100 people. The fire began at 11:07 PM EST, on Thursday, February 20, 2003


All you have to do is let the fire marshal drink free and you can plaster the walls with flammable materials, block/lock fire exits and pack the place over capacity.

And get less time then someone caught with a bag of weed.

I was thinking more on the line of the sweat shop type of thing, I know there are still some here. I do think the nightclub fire threat is still real along with several other types, there is an old mansion near me in Meadville & they have a Christmas open house to view the different decorated trees, four floors of wall to wall people with very few exits & full of pine trees, the wife & I went once & never again.

Do we make clothes in this country anymore?

I'm not sure too many places like this exist in the US anymore. Other places I'm sure have many.
