In Bangladesh Wednesday, an eight story building collapsed leaving hundreds dead. Today, 50 survivors were found from the rubble from what was the third floor of the building. Rescuers brought the survivors nourishment to help them as they began to ultimately rescue them. Friday, a woman who gave birth under the rubble of the building was rescued with her new baby. The 72-hour deadline for rescue is approaching Saturday morning where rescue will turn to recovery and the retrieval method will be changed to large cranes and bulldozers although it is believed there could be hundreds more survivors beneath the debris of the building. This retrieval method has ignited protest among a lot of people and especially relatives of those who are not found. Tear gas was used to quiet the protesters. Overall 2,375 were rescued and 72 were rescued from the rubble on Friday.
