Steve Williams Wednesday, April 24th 2013 at 5:51PM

Wow, all those people standing on the collapsed structure?

How Extraordinary...

@Steve,

Do you think India has a 911 Emergency Or Rescue system adequate or sufficient to recover survivors? Who else to look for survivors but the people standing on the collapsed building?


Steve Williams Thursday, April 25th 2013 at 2:57PM

Maybe Jen. But I wonder with all the military or police in the foreground, if they had gotten everyone they could reach without using the machinery to remove the rubble.

Now, the death toll has grown to over 100 persons. With hundreds injured. Each day has been an enormous effort to save lives. Therefore, anyone to help including all those volunteers are badly necessary. Everyone can help do something. It's quite a crisis.

Jen Fad Saturday, April 27th 2013 at 6:22PM

@ Steve,

That's a good question and one could only hope that they did.

I thought you all would be interested in the following:

Did 300 Garment Workers In Dhaka Die For Your T-Shirt?

Last Wednesday, an eight-story building collapsed in the outskirts of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The Rana Plaza complex mostly housed factories that made clothes for American and European companies. As of Friday, the death toll has reached 307, but it is expected to rise considerably. About 3,000 people are believed to have been in the building when it collapsed shortly after the day’s work began.

Didn’t anyone notice a problem? Actually, yes.

Supervisors Ignored Cracks In The Walls

From The Guardian:

Dilara Begum, a garment worker who survived the accident, said workers had been ordered to leave after a crack appeared in the wall of the building on Tuesday but on Wednesday morning supervisors had told them to return to work, saying the building had been inspected and declared safe.

So glad to hear this Jen. Too bad it took a tragic condition to make it happen. The positive is some compensation for those who still may be helped. Thanks for the update too!

MIISRAEL Bride Tuesday, April 30th 2013 at 8:41AM

Hay, we got to keep prayers going eh?

Jen Fad Tuesday, April 30th 2013 at 9:38AM

Prayer is the key, eh!

I can't believe it! When you think sweat shops, you think of Mexico or China! I guess everyone over the Globe needs cheat labour to make the ' ends meet'. It's so sad. What compensation will JC Penny's be providing? Hmmmm.....

Well I've said it before, this isn't a Recession, it's a Depression. And it's affecting the whole world. The U.S. companies do what they do, if I need to buy a shirt and go to Penny's and what they've got is from India, I don't have a choice. And the workers in India don't have a choice because they need to survive too.

Where will it end. It's hard to be optimistic in this situation, the corporations and banks have got everyone under their thumbs, including our Sworn Leaders.

Maybe it is the End Times.

Jen Fad Tuesday, April 30th 2013 at 6:03PM

I hear you Steve. Unions and continuous increases in minimum wages keep driving up costs among other things. I suppose we could go back to wearing leaves.
