Article 2- Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire#Aftermath

After the Triangle Fire in 1911 the United States government did not want to get involved. Following the fire, workers went on strike because they demanded better work conditions. The factory owner was covered under insurance and was found not guilty on all accounts. The company actually ended up making money on the fire. This fire paved way for F.D.R.'s New Deal.
