The building owners, and the building inspectors (if they exist in Bangladesh) who turned a blind eye to the construction defects and unauthorised additions.

This is not the first building to have collapsed, and it won't be the last.

Wasnt there a simlair incident a few years ago in Turkey, where corners had been cut and cheap concrete had been used?

Lilybids. Have to be a bit careful here, but building owner gone missing. Hopefully pro tem. And not sure building regulations and inspections in third world countries are always that good. I note earthquakes in USA cause less damage than similar ones in other countries.

Thanks for explanation to Det, and john :-)

Death comes much too soon for all of us by natural causes. Nature does not need the help of crumbling factories or drones to hasten the process.

BY BOYCOTING A COMPANY FOR WHERE THERE GOODS ARE MADE WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE WORKERS WHO ARE PAID A PITANCE ALREADY
THEY MAY THINK HOW LUCKY THEY ARE TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THEIR FAMILY AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SAFTEY CHECKS,AND ALSO WHAT IS THEIR HOUSING LIKE,WOULD YOU BOYCOT A COMPANY FOR THEIR WORKERS HAVING UNSAFE HOUSING.
