On April 24, 2013, Rana Plaza, an eight-story commercial building on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, collapsed, killing 1,129 garment workers. The world watched in horror as thousands were pulled from the rubble. The disaster marked the deadliest garment-factory accident in history, but the greater tragedy was that much of the devastation was preventable. Cracks had been discovered in the building, but workers were ordered to stay; the factory itself was never permitted to be built; and managers constantly employed dangerous and unsafe practices throughout the workplace.
