The main idea of this is that a building in Dhaka, Bangladesh that held several garment factories collapsed on what appears to be today around 8:30. This collapse has killed over 60-70 people, injured hundreds of others, and the rest that appear to be alive are actually trapped inside the building according to NY Times.
Details or evidence I have from the article are that this incident has been connected to one as a mere reminder but this one happened a few months back when The Tazreen Fashions had caught on fire, and at least 112 people died in the fire alone. There will most likely be questioning of the work conditions in Bangladesh because of this incident. Another peice of evidence I have from the article is the quote that came from a worker inside the factory them self "I was at work on the third floor, and then suddenly I heard a deafening sound, but couldn't understand what was happening. I ran and was hit by something on my head," said Zohra Begum a worker in one of the factories. Recent research has given more ensight on why the building collapsed. "Brig. Gen. Ali Ahmed Khan, head of the National Fire Service, said that an initial investigation found that the Rana Plaza building violated codes, with the four upper floors having been constructed illegally without permits."- Jim Yardley, writer of the article.
In my opinion if they were more cautious and caring about that factory building and their workers then none of this wouldn't have happened a mere 2 days ago. Managers decided to make the workers keep working despite noticing the crack in the building but they were outside even before the workers were during the collapse unless I'm mistaken. I find this idiotic however because the managers had to know about the crack in the building because some of their workers noticed it and reported it, they most likely had an unstable building structure because 4 of the floors they had were built without permits, and overall stupid decisions were made.
I have no connection to this subject but my question is just one word. Why?
