A woman was rescued alive from beneath the rubble of the collapsed garment factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Friday. It's been over two weeks since the disaster, and the death toll has officially risen from 15 to 1,034—making the accident the worst the garment industry has ever seen. The collapse, and the fire that took place at a sweater factory in Dhaka earlier this week, highlight the increasing concerns about the dangerous conditions for garment workers, an industry that brings in $20 billion for the small South Asian nation by providing clothing at a low cost to retailers worldwide.
