After the recent dealth of about 800 persons, when the building, which housed five factories full of garment workers, caved in, burying hundreds of people in a heap of mangled concrete in Savar, another suburb of Dhak, at least another seven people died in a fire in a clothing factory in Bangladesh's capital late Wednesday."
