Hundreds of social activists and garment
workers attended in a tearful tribute on April 24 at Rana
Plaza building collapse in front of where the building once stood in Savar, on
the outskirts of Dhaka on April 24, 2018.
 
Five years ago Savar building (Rana Plaza) collapse was an incident on 24 April 2013. An eight-story building, the
Rana Plaza, collapsed in Savar outskirts of Dhaka in Bangladesh. At least 1,130 were
killed and over 2,000 workers injured after eight-story Rana Plaza collapsed in
Savar. The building contained clothing factories,
other shops and a bank. The building's owners ignored warnings to avoid using
the building after cracks had appeared the day before. Garment workers were
ordered to return the following day, and the building collapsed during the
morning rush-hour, resulting in a tragedy. This was thought to be the worst
industrial accident in the history of Bangladesh.
