    It made me happy to hear the bank on the lower floor listened to the engineer and told their workers to stay home. Someone still has some common sense it seems
  • @PongoXBongo
    When you said that Rana was in his basement office when the collapse happened, I was hoping that he was crushed by his own greed literally as well as figurately, but, sadly, he was not.
  • @haleffect9011
    Yeah, I was in Bangladesh when it happened. It was tragic, people calling for change, the whole shabang. Then I remember one of my friends saying "Why would they put anyone in jail? Those who run the country are the ones who approved the damned thing. They'll just smile while the international journalists are there, then as soon as they're on their flights back to Europe or wherever, they'll turn around and quietly shut up the whole embarrassing thing, put it out of their minds while they desperately ask Gucci to pretty please come back." Which is pretty much exactly what happened, a very predictable country at least.
  • From what I've been able to find, the trial for murder against Rana still hasn't started yet due to constant appeals. I think he still faces the death penalty for it, so hopefully there is some justice for all those that died
  • A lesson from most of these videos. If an engineer asks or suggests that you do “further inspections immediately”, you do them no questions asked. Reminds me of Sampoong Department Store tbh.
  • @welshdave5263
    Brick Immortar and Fascinating Horror released on the same day, it's a good day.
  • Even before seeing things like this, as a kid I got a sketchy vibe when I started seeing “Made in Bangladesh” on the labels of my clothes. I really feel for those poor people.
  • @leebee1100
    This channel is quite the hidden gem. It has quite a professional looking production quality and audio mastering is perfect in my opinion. I’m addicted to these videos
  • @teambeining
    I hate that these stories are a great way to “remind” administrators why we need OSHA and occupational health.
  • @kevinbyrne4538
    When a city, state, or nation is run by corrupt politicians, don't expect them to enforce the law (because doing that would expose them).
  • @standoughope
    "A crack in the building is not a hazard" How can anyone say that with a straight face?
  • @iainmalcolm9583
    A Tragic story of greed & corruption (but well told). Let's face it, the same greed & corruption happens all over the globe. This might be an extreme example but not unique.
  • God I'm in shock at how many people they crammed in there. That's sickening
  • @lappo7290
    "At the beginning of any disaster movie, there is always a scientist getting ignored"
  • @kokosan09
    "fearing damage to their national pride" with so many lives literally on the line, so unbelievably disgusting.
  • @Zenheizer
    From the locked-in employees, no real building permits, corruption everywhere, no regulatory body showing any presence, to the blatant disregard of human life in the absence of the public. It's nuts to me how Bangladesh represents such a distopian, profit at all costs, hellhole. (not to deminish the country as a whole)
  • Love your work Sam, it's so meticulous and professional. Thank you for these videos. Edit: Glad you got a sponsor hookup with Magellan, you deserve it for your effort mate. Best from Aus.
