It was accepted as part of doing business in this new model,
until one morning in April,
when an event, on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh,
It took a hidden side of fashion headlines.
State media in Bangladesh
say an eight-story building collapsed near the capital Dhaka,
killing more than 70 people.
Rescue crews work around the clock,
looking through the rubble, trying to find
many survivors as possible.
They have hundreds dead,
hundreds still may be buried alive,
and officials in Bangladesh say
the factory owners ignored the order to evacuate.
400 dead, yet it is believed that hundreds are missing.
Garment workers in Bangladesh pay the price of cheap clothes.

that the building was structurally unsafe,
and yet they were forced to re-enter.

how they could be forced to return to work
when management knew the cracks in the building,
and concerns of workers on the day of the collapse.

Last month, a textile factory collapsed,
killing more than 1,000 people,
