Summary of Events
April 24, a large crowd of workers gathered outside of Rana Plaza factory after it was closed due to cracks in the walls, many of the workers were confused – the bilding was’t fixed and becasue of bribe it was reopend. They had assumed that the building would remain closed based on the warning from the engineers, but they had received a call calling them back for work. The generators on the roof were reactivated, restoring power and sending vibrations through the building. Panicked, workers began to run for exits, but before they could escape the building – from the top down, each floor collapsing on top of the other within a minute the entire building had collapsed, as seen above, total dead of 1,129 people – if the building owner would have kept it closed or had fixed the cracks – they were still here today.
