In Bangladesh an 8 story factory building collapsed, trapping over four hundred people. Rescuers, including volunteers, firefighters, and soldiers, worked all night trying to free people but, 87 people were initaially killed in the collapse. They used flashlights and whistles to find the people. The building was in very bad shape, with cracks all over. The collapse started about an hour after the factory opened. One worker who survived said that, "It collapsed all of a sudden. No shaking, no indication. It just collapsed on us." It turns out that only 3 floors of the building were built legally and the building had no emergency exits. Many are still in critical condition and the civilians and familys are hoping that the number of deaths doesn't climb.
