孟加拉建築坍塌160人死亡
The death toll from the collapse of building that housed several garment factories in Bangladesh has jumped to 160 as emergency workers continue to search for survivors. About 1,000 people were injured in the accident.
Officials said Thursday that many people remain trapped under the ruins of the building in a suburb of Dhaka.
The building fell Wednesday. Survivors say the collapse happened within minutes.
Police officials say the factory owners appeared to have ignored a warning not to allow their workers into the building after inspectors discovered cracks in it on Tuesday.
Authorities say charges have been filed against the owner of the building and charges are also expected to be filed against the factory owners.
In November, a fire at a garment factory killed more than 100 workers, raising an outcry about the nation's garment industry.孟加拉國一幢有幾家製衣廠在內的大樓倒塌，死亡人數已經高達160人，與此同時，緊急救援人員繼續在尋找生還者。大約有1千人在倒塌事件中受傷。
有關官員星期四說，仍然還有很多人被困陷入在首都達卡郊區這座倒塌大樓的瓦礫堆中。
這座大樓星期三倒塌。倖存者說，大樓在幾分鐘內坍塌。
警方說，在檢查人員星期二發現大樓出現裂縫後，工廠的老闆似乎無視不讓工人進入這座大樓的警告。
當局說，已經對這座大樓的主人提出指控。預計工廠的老闆也將被指控。
去年11月，一家制衣廠發生火災，100多名工人葬身火海，引起人們對孟加拉國製衣行業安全的不滿。
