World: Bangladeshi factory fire kills dozens, but could’ve been much worse

  • 25+ people were killed in a large garment factory fire in Bangladesh today
  • 100+ more were injured; the blaze took more than five hours to put out source
  • » And it could’ve been way worse: See, the multi-story factory (located in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka) housed 10,000 workers, mostly women. Many of them, however, were out to lunch at the time. Whew. For those who weren’t so lucky, though, it was very bad. VERY bad.
