I think that this was a horrible thing but that it made everyone aware of what could happen and made everyone more prepared for this if it ever happened again. – Bronwyn Rigbsy, St. Charles, IL - 2017-12-18
I feel really bad for those people who died and for those who lived for having to deal with that trauma. – Jackson C, St. Charles Illinois - 2017-12-18
It's scary to think that this is what happens when people are given power and money. They didn't care about how working conditions are, they didn't care if the workers get paid enough for the amount of time they put in, they didn't even think to treat their employees as humans, and when you get to that point where you just don't care about how you treat others because you're "worth so much more than them because you have the power and the money." This all could have easily been avoided if people cared about each other. – L.K, St. Charles Illinois - 2017-12-18
It was terrifying to think that people had to work in such harsh decisions but then again if the fire didn't happen then we would still be working in a horrible place like they used to. – Jiya, Illinois - 2017-12-15

This is very sad. The youngest person that was a victim died at 14. This didn't have been how people realized to change working conditions, it doesn't have to take lives for people – K.M, n/a - 2017-12-15
I think its very sad but at least the working conditions have improved since then. – Ellie V, St.Charles, IL - 2017-12-15
This is a very tragic event but it acts as a grave reminder to all corrupt factories and businesses. This could've been easily prevented but because of the horrible working conditions, many innocent people who were only trying to live a better life burned to death or fell to their deaths so my prayers go out to all of those who perished on that day and to families or friends who may still be coping from this tragedy. I hope that factories and businesses can improve from these barbaric conditions and provide safety precautions for their workers. – Isaiah M., Milwaukee - 2017-12-14
