The famous Eye Witness at the Triangle news report. 1911 New York

Eyewitness at the Triangle

by William G. Shepherd

I saw every feature of the tragedy visible from outside the building. I learned a new sound--a more horrible sound than description can picture. It was the thud of a speeding, living body on a stone sidewalk.

Thud—dead, thud—dead, thud—dead, thud—dead. Sixty-two thud—deads.
