More Than 100 Die In Bangladesh Factory Fire
This the country were alot of the clothes we wear comes from
At least 112 people have been killed in a fire which tore through a clothes factory in Bangladesh, an official has said.
The blaze broke out in the seven-storey building operated by Tazreen Fashions on the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka, late on Saturday.
By this morning, firefighters had recovered 100 bodies, fire department operations director Mohammad Mahbub said.
Mr Mahbub said another 12 people, who had suffered injuries after jumping from the building to escape the fire, later died at several hospitals.
The death toll could rise as the search for victims is continuing, he added.
Army soldiers and border guards had been deployed to help police keep the situation under control as thousands of anxious relatives of the factory workers gathered at the scene.
It is not yet known what caused the blaze.
Bangladesh has some 4,000 clothes factories, many without proper safety measures.
The country annually earns about \$20bn from exports of garment products, mainly to the US and Europe.
Meanwhile, in Bangladesh's southeastern port city of Chittagong, military rescue teams were drafted in to help when a flyover collapsed just shortly before the factory fire.
"So far 13 dead bodies have been recovered," sub-inspector Mohammad Alauddin said.
The number of missing could not immediately be confirmed but police constable Shakakhawat Hossain said that dozens could be trapped under the debris.
Mr Hossain said about 20 people were injured, including some during clashes between police and an angry crowd that attacked the site offices of t
he construction company after the flyover collapse.
ignorant people on TSR should read this perhaps then they will stop complaining about immigration laws and things like that.

As tragic as this story is, it has absolutely nothing to do with immigration laws.
