Bangladesh factories geared to produce tragedy

While Bangladeshis had a moment of joy Friday when one woman was pulled alive from the garment factory that collapsed, killing more than 1,000, many fear a similar incident could easily happen again.

Working conditions are poor and regulations are routinely overlooked in Bangladesh, where standard wages can be as little as $51 per week. The tragedy at the Rana Plaza on the outskirts of Dhaka came exactly five months after another garment factory caught fire, killing 112 workers. And as recently as Thursday, eight people were killed when a fire swept through another clothing factory in the same city of Dhaka.
