Bangladesh Building

Mark Magnier writes about the disastrous building collapse in Bangladesh in the Los Angeles Times in an article published April 28, 2013. The article is titled, "Owner of Collasped Building in Bangladesh is Arrested" and discusses the amount of casualties in the collapse and how the owner of the building was arrested. The death toll of the disastrous garment building collaps is at 370 and continues to rise with 800 people missing. Sohel Rana, the owner of the building, was caught and arrested while trying to flee the country. He was found in the border town of Benapole after being rescued from the wreckage of his own building. Sources say that Rana will tried for the collapse of the building and the death of all the people because an illegal ninth story was being contructed when cracks began to show in the buildings walls. And although it was evident that the building was not in good condition employess were forced to come in and work. It is when I stories like this that I am so thankful to be living in America where the infrastructure is so great. The United States has so many rules and codes for building constructors to follow that I feel safe in any building I step into, and that is how it should be all around the world. People's lives should not be at risk bcause of poor infrastructure.
