In Bangladesh, at least 70 people are dead after a building housing several garment factories collapsed near the capital Dhaka. Hundreds of people were injured with an unknown number still trapped in the wreckage. Workers said they were ordered by supervisors to come to work this morning even after cracks had been found in the building the day before. The disaster comes exactly five months after a massive fire killed at least 112 garment workers at Bangladesh’s Tazreen factory, which made clothing sold by Wal-Mart, among other companies.
