I give you the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, killing 146 garment workers. Same general gist, even: doors were locked by management from the outside "to prevent pilferage and unauthorized breaks".

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City on March 25, 1911

Lots of things have happened in the US since 1911.

Factory fires killing employees still happen in Bangladesh.
