吊車開始清理孟加拉倒塌大廈
Workers in Bangladesh have begun using heavy equipment to clear the site of a factory complex outside the capital, Dhaka, where hundreds of people died when the building collapsed Wednesday.
Crews began clearing the wreckage in earnest Monday after days of search-and-rescue efforts with hand tools, and after a fire that ended the likelihood anyone else would turn up alive in the rubble. At least 380 people known to have perished in the building. The death toll is expected to rise as hundreds of people are believed to be missing.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited the building site on Monday.
On Sunday, police arrested the owner of the factory complex near the border with India. Mohammed Sohel Rana had been missing since the building's collapse Wednesday. Police say Rana and factory managers ignored official warnings for people to evacuate the building after inspectors found cracks in it during an inspection Tuesday.
Rana's arrest came a day after authorities took two plant bosses and two engineers into custody. So far, authorities have detained seven people in connection with the collapse.孟加拉國的工人們開始使用重型設備清理上星期三首都達卡外一座工廠大樓坍塌的廢墟。這次倒塌事故造成數百人喪生。
星期一，工人開始認真清理廢墟。此前搜救工作靠的是手用工具，而且災難現場的廢墟發生火災，破滅了任何人可能生還的希望。已知至少有３８０人在大廈內喪生。據信數百人下落不明，死亡人數預計會上升。
孟加拉國總理哈希娜星期一視察了坍塌大樓的現場。
星期天警方在孟加拉與印度邊境附近拘捕了該大廈業主拉納。自從上星期三發生倒塌事故後，他一直下落不明。警方說，在檢查人員星期二發現大樓有裂縫，讓人們從大樓疏散後，拉納和工廠經理卻無視官員的警告。
在倒塌工廠大廈業主拉納被捕一天前，當局還拘捕了至少兩名工廠業主和另外兩名工程師。到目前爲止，當局已經逮捕7名這次建築倒塌事件的涉案人。
