Bangladesh Building Collapse Death Toll Passes 1,000
Bangladeshi officials say the death toll from the collapse of the garment factory building two weeks ago has climbed to more than 1,000.
An army officer overseeing the operation just outside Dhaka, the capital, told the French news agency that a "huge number" of bodies have been found in the stairwells and under the staircases of the building.
Brigadier General Sissiqul Alam Sikder told AFP "each time we moved a slab of concrete, we found a stack of bodies."
Officials say the running of several heavy generators on upper floors may have contributed to the collapse because the structure was not built to support them.
Authorities have arrested at least nine people in the aftermath of the accident.
The Bangladesh government says it has shut down 18 garment factories for safety reasons following the April 24 collapse of the building that housed five garment factories.
On Wednesday, eight people died in a garment factory fire in the the capital.
The fire erupted it the Tung Hai Sweater Factory after most workers had gone home.
Bangladesh's $20-billion textile industry accounts for nearly 80 percent of the country's exports.
