There were quite a few similarities to the modern factory disaster: Like the modern explosion, gas was suspected, an entire building was leveled, & the explosion happened around the time workers were done for the day.</p><p>The 1930 blast sent the roof of the six-story building between 50-100 feet in the air, killing 19 and injuring many. Four of the victims were young girls.</p><p>In my article, I embedded a link to a collection of newspaper articles abt the disaster. I also included a list of the victims and others whose names were in the articles.
