A fireman holding one of the victims of the SS Eastland disaster.

Over 800 people died, many of them drowned, and others suffocated and crushed below decks as the ship flipped on its side in just 20 feet of water. Some died of blunt force trauma or drowning after being struck by objects thrown by bystanders, who were attempting to give the people in the water something to hold onto.

70% of the victims were under 25, and about 300 of them were teenagers, children, and infants.The boat was a company sponsored picnic excursion and many of the victims were poor workers and their families, hoping for a fun afternoon out.

Many witnesses recounted the screams from the victims, both those trapped inside and the people clinging for life in the murky water.

>God, the screaming was terrible, it's ringing in my ears yet

Another witness, who heard the screaming from blocks away, said:

>People were struggling in the water, clustered so thickly that they covered the surface of the river. The screaming was the most horrible of all.
