    The event of the fire was exceedingly devastating chiefly caused by the extreme lack of fire safety in the era. To begin with, the materials used in making the shirtwaists were highly flammable in themselves. When the scraps from the garments and their patterns were piled in large bins, the perfect environment for igniting and fueling a fire was created, as detailed in the book, “Those airy scraps of sheer fabric and tissue paper, loosely heaped and full of oxygen, amounted to a virtual firebomb” (119). With the insufficient rules, meant to keep the flammable scraps from fire, largely unenforced, catastrophic events were sure to follow. Von Drehle addresses the issue that “the Triangle Waist Company had a no-smoking policy…but the cutters behaved…

    “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (King, April 16, 1963) this quote was said by Martin Luther King Jr. Injustice is a synonym of the word unfairness; meaning, that injustice is when people are not being fair. In the cases of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scottsboro Boys and The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Injustice was a part of the verdict. In To kill a Mockingbird Tom Robinson was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. In the Scottsboro boys case the nine boys that were found on the train were accused by the two women that they raped the two women. In the shirtwaist fire the women were suing the owners of the building because they locked the women in and there were no exits. The women pleaded and the jury still found the owners not guilty. In the trials the Scottsboro boys, Tom Robinson and The shirt waist fire women were falsely accused of what they did. Each defendant/prosecution was accused for something they didn’t do. (Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird) (Scottsboro Boys, Documentary)…

    What started as a small spark , possibly in a barn, ignited one of the most destructive and largest catastrophes, in Chicago’s history. The Great Chicago fire of 1871 is still a mystery. MAny have speculated, pointed fingers, and taken blame for the devastating fire that destroyed hundreds of acres, took many lives, and charred the Windy City to ashes. The truths to what really happened on that late night on the eighth of October may never be unravelled. Many do however feel that the evidence suggests that it was an accidental or a freak of nature and environmental conditions fueled the fire into rage letting it get out of control.

    Escape Fire Analysis

    The documentary, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, criticizes the current healthcare system designed for profit maximization, a physician’s dilemma between financial incentives and professionalism, and quick fixes rather than prevention of illness. The U.S. government spends $2.7 trillion annually on healthcare, and pharmaceutical drugs account for $300 billion, almost as much as the rest of the world combined (Escape Fire). The mindset that drugs are the only appropriate way to treat disease is invalid. Physician salaries are driven by the number of treatments and drugs that are prescribed and administered. The U.S. healthcare system is a business model where economic…

    Cavalry formations have historically combined a higher mobility, with greater firepower to allow both stealthy and forceful maneuver. Employing M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicles (CFVs), M1127 Stryker Reconnaissance Vehicles (RVs) light-armored High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) and at times, small off-road vehicles, they have also benefited from the added capabilities of integrating more firepower, such as the M1A2 Series Main Battle tank, and the M1128 Stryker Mobile Gun System. LTG H.R. McMaster, who commanded the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment during Operation Iraqi Freedom 05-06 (OIF III), remarked that the mechanized cavalry possessed the lethality and survivability required to enable corps and divisions to “move unimpeded,…

    My uncle announces that the display about to begin. There is about 25 artillery shells in a big crate with lots of wires that are connected to a remote that accesses them. As soon as he starts with the first artillery shell the wires all began to spark. Instead of each one going at a timed rate they all began shooting one after another with only seconds in between. Everyone ran in fear as soon and they began to notice things were not going as planned. Then, a tree caught on fire and a field of dry grass it was now a roaring fire. After twenty minutes of burning acres the firefighter showed up and began to battle the fire. All of my family was extremely worried and the men with the fire extinguishers couldn’t help out too much. After the firefighters were finally able to get the fire taken care of an hour had passed by and no one wanted to proceed with their own fireworks.

    Firefighters. How can we help them be safe and keep them healthy for their everyday lives? Well we should all know that fire fighters have an important job not only for themselves but for the community basically. They respond to emergency situations and protect people, from accidents, sickness, or things like fires that can cause harm or even sadly a loss of a family member. To get fire fighters better protected and safe I think that they shouldn’t have to wear all that heavy gear because if they wouldn’t have to wear it other than only a few things to wear with their gear it will make them lighter and easier to get around and do their job. More people can be saved in the community that way especially in bad fires or anything that…

    The Dust Bowl

    Yesterday I went back to school right before I wrote my last entry. I didn’t right it on the day of the storm because it was way too dark. So anyway as I left my house to go to school I saw something really weird. Normally, I jump over the fence for the fun of it. This time I didn’t have to because the storm built up dirt against the fence so that it built a ramp almost over the fence. Even though the storm was over the dust was still blowing in the wind. I wore my mask all the way to school. When I got there the bell rang the teacher closed the door and everyone took off their mask. One of my friends Ryan said that the school should change our mascot to the raccoons because that’s what we looked like when we took our masks off. That made my day.…
