I also want to comment in this issue though this building collapsed few days ago near dhaka.
At present I am living in Dhaka. Why this building collapse? You don't have to be a civil engineer to understand from this accident , if you just considering the below reason:
1. This building is design for 5 story with authority approval. but the building was actually 9 story done by the politically powered Mr. Rana. He forced to increase the building height.
2. this soil condition was too poor. before the building there was a pond or canal which may not properly piled or filled.
3. What was the occupancy of that structure ? Residence or commercial ?
4. The day before Rana plaza collapsed,industrial police and municipal engineer found a huge crack and visited by all the concerned and garments worker. Garments worker were forced to do the work by the employer.
5. When they started working, there was an electricity dropped and heavy generator activated automatically. Generator produced the excess dynamic/machine load which was the key reason to collapse.
Rescue of dead body and debris is finished yesterday (14.5.2013)
Total Death (as per newspaper) = 1127 person
undefined dead body found = 293
injured = 2438 (approx)
Government has taken heavy initiative after the RANA PLAZA collapse but still we have another 70 to 80% risky building in major Dhaka city. What will happen if dhaka hit by a major earthquake? I am just going blind to see the future of us !!!
