The record — long form
Triangle is the '11 — the 'March 25' that's the 4:45, the '146' that's the died. The 'locked' is the doors — the 'ninth floor' that's the trapped, the 'fire escape' that's the collapsed. The 'jumped' is the windows — the 'ladders' that's the too short, the 'nets' that's the broke.
The '1909' is the strike — the '20,000' that's the walked, the 'unions' that's the denied. The 'witnesses' is the city — the 'Washington Place' that's the watched, the 'criminal trial' that's the acquitted. Triangle is the reform — the '60 laws' that's the changed, the 'Brown Building' that's the NYU.
The file keeps Triangle: the 1911 fire, the 146 dead, the locked doors, and the labor laws born.
