At least 121 people have been killed in a fire at a multi-story clothing factory in Bangladesh. Night shift workers jumped out of the building’s windows after fire blocked off escapes and the factory became filled with suffocating smoke.
­The death toll from the blaze on the outskirts of Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka rose after rescuers discovered more bodies in the ruins.
“We’ve found 112 dead bodies this morning,” Mohammad Mahbub, a fire brigade director, told AFP. “We resumed our search this morning and found the bodies lying on different floors of the factory building.”
Fireman battled the flames for over five hours after the fire broke out late Saturday. The inferno began on the ground floor, trapping night workers inside the seven-story building.
The workers’ relatives frantically searched for their loved ones. Sabina Yasmine, a worker at another factory, told AP she found her daughter-in-law dead, but couldn’t locate her son.
“Oh, Allah, where’s my soul? Where’s my son?” Yasmine wailed. “I want the factory owner to be hanged. For him, many have died, many have gone.”

  • Remember, Sam Walton was a very evil man. When he found out that his employees die faster than the insurance chartsallowed, he took out death polcies onthem, with himself as beneficary.Even had the nerve to brag about it in his book.

    And he was cheap too; too cheap to even buy his son a place in the National guard, ala ‘Little’ Danny Quale, or Mittens Romneys dad! :mrgreen:
