Yeah you mentioned the fact that the doors were able to be opened if it were not for the fact that the girls crowded the doors, but they faced many other fire hazards which caused their deaths due to the fact that New York had not set up any safety codes and or laws in industrial factories. The women were forced to work in these unsafe conditions due to their "ignorance and poverty, they were helpless against their exploiters" (Marsico 19) they had no where else to go so they were forced to work in these unfit conditions. I feel that the both of you should not just focus on specifically the doors but also the fact that the building the factory was located was not fit for such work. The scraps that litters the floors, the crammed work space, the poor fire escape, the phone call that could not be directly delivered to the ninth floor, the all wood surfaces, the lack of fire drills and sprinkler systems all play a role into the deaths of those 146 women. Do not focus on the doors themselves, and besides the fire spread so quickly they crammed at the door in order to stay out of the fire. That is why all across America today there are numerous safety codes that all buildings and factories have to follow.
