The two owners of the factory building that collapsed in Bangladesh have been arrested, and the two municipal engineers who approved the building's safety the day before the collapse are being questioned. Mahbubur Rahman Tapas and Balzul Samad Adnan are the owners of the collapsed factory. They are accused of "causing 'death due to negligence.'" The two men are also suspected of having forced factory workers of continuing their work in the 8-story factory despite being aware of the cracks. It is believed that around 3,000 people were in the building when it collapsed, and about 600 people are still missing. People are still being pulled out alive after 3 days, but rescuers will need to continue to work quickly to achieve the best results of saving as many people as possible.
