SAVAR, Bangladesh - A nine-story garment

factory collapsed after a boiler exploded early Monday, killing at least four

people and trapping at least 200 others in the rubble, police and rescue

workers said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least 300 people

— many of them women — were in the sweater-making factory at the

time of the disaster in this industrial town about 20 miles northwest of the

capital, Dhaka, police said.

Rescuers recovered four

bodies and rescued at least 27 injured workers. A manager at the factory said

dozens of other workers had also been rescued.

But about 200 people

remained trapped in the debris, said Selim Newaz Bhuiyan, a fire brigade

official at the scene.

Rescuers used welding

machines to cut holes in the rubble to try to reach people or pump air to

survivors. Anxious relatives joined soldiers and firefighters who used bare

hands and crowbars to remove rubble.
