On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, collapsed, killing over 1,100 people and injuring thousands more. The building housed several garment factories, and the collapse occurred after workers were forced to return to work despite signs of structural damage. The tragedy exposed the unsafe working conditions in Bangladeshs garment industry, where many major global clothing brands sourced their products. In the aftermath, there was a renewed call for better labor rights and factory safety regulations. The collapse remains one of the deadliest industrial accidents in history.
