It was rumored that her twin dropped her hat so she leaned over to catch it. She lost her balance and fell to her death.
This article was published on CNN, a popular and trustworthy news source. I can trust this website to give me information that had no bias behind it. Before reading this article, i have heard about this incident through social media. The shockingness and rareness of the situation sparked a wildfire through the internet. This could synthesize to the triangle shirtwaist factory fire in the sense that people fell to their deaths escaping a fire.

Because situations like these are so rare, most are unsure on how to react or feel. Cases such as this should be properly addressed more often so as not to create a panic or anxiety.
ReplyDeleteit's awful that something this devastating can happen, and maybe they can try to limit the stress this incident has caused.
