Just two days after a clothing factory fire killed one hundred and seventeen people, another clothing factory was engulfed in flames.
The second fire took firefighters over four hours to control, but killed no one and injured a dozen, early Monday morning.
Garment district workers struck on Monday, protesting the unsafe environments which led to the two fires.
Fire safety is of very little concern in Bangladesh, until something goes horribly wrong, then it suddenly becomes a huge issue, for a little bit of time.
Factory owners often promise the government that they'll improve conditions, but rarely actually do, so as to keep costs low.
