The Hamlet Fire by Bryant Simon Summary
Overview of The Hamlet Fire
When 25 workers died in a 1991 chicken plant fire, Bryant Simon uncovered America's hidden cost of "cheap" - where locked exits and ignored regulations revealed how corporations and government value profits over people. The Washington Post called it "captivating and brilliantly conceived."

When Twenty-Five People Burned Behind Locked Doors
September 3, 1991. A hydraulic line bursts at the Imperial Food Products plant in Hamlet, North Carolina. Cooking oil ignites. Toxic smoke fills the building. Workers sprint toward the exits-only to find them padlocked from the outside. Twenty-five people die. Fifty-five are injured. It's one of the deadliest workplace disasters in modern American history, yet most people have never heard of it. Unlike the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 that transformed labor law, the Hamlet fire disappeared from collective memory almost immediately. Why? Because by 1991, America had made a choice: cheap mattered more than safe. This wasn't an accident-it was the inevitable conclusion of a system that had spent decades turning human beings into disposable components in the machinery of affordable food. The chicken on your plate, the nuggets in school cafeterias, the tenders at chain restaurants-they all carry invisible costs measured in broken bodies, shattered lives, and deaths that were entirely preventable.
