Building in Bangladesh Collapses

Last week, a factory building that was part of the Rana Plaza in Savar, Bangladesh, collapsed. While there were 2,773 survivors of the collapse, it killed at least 398 people. Rescuers are still attempting to remove debris at the site of the collapse, and the hunt for survivors is said to be completed by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Editor of the Daily Star newspaper stated that the "stench of rotting human flesh has taken over the scene and it is very hard to stand next to the site." Most of the workers for the factory were between the ages of 18 and 22, but there were some with families. Also, the majority of the workers were living in poverty. The Cabinet of Bangladesh made the decision to inspect the safety of all garment factories, and will soon have a committee led by a state minister visiting factories and submitting reports to the government about safety measures.
