2. Thankfully, building and factory owners have been detained. However...

When this is part of a $20 Billion slice of your economy, will anyone there care?

The disaster has raised alarm about the often deadly working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry, which provides clothing for major retailers around the globe.

Officials say the owner of the Rana Plaza building illegally added three floors and allowed five garment factories in the building to install heavy machines and generators, even though the structure was not designed to support such equipment.

The owner and eight other people, including the owners of the garment factories, have been detained.
