Apparently fires in these types of clothing factories are very common in Bangladesh and so companies should really be putting pressure on the local businesses to improve safety.
Reports said that over 100 people died.
The fire started on the bottom floor of the factory which trapped many victims. Officials believe it was an electrical short circuit which caused the disaster. The factory had no fire exits already making the factory an unsafe place to work. Workers had been unable to escape through narrow exits
