Savar, Bangladesh- At least 340 people died in a building collapse near the capital. Others are trapped under the rubble, and at least 600 still remain missing. Rescue efforts continued into the fourth day, which was beyond the 72-hour deadline when authorities said efforts would be switched from rescue to recovery mode. Supplies of fresh oxygen, food, and water were supplied to those still alive but trapped. Authorities will decide Monday whether to switch to recovery mode. 4 people have been arrested and held partially responsible for the incident. Rescuers hope to continue efforts until everyone has been found, dead or alive.
I think it's a good thing that rescue efforts continued even though they weren't originally supposed to. It's important that everyone is found, especially since there are so many still missing. Hopefully they can keep everyone alive that is still trapped and eventually rescue them. Maybe with the arrests, they will find out what caused the building to collapse in the first place.
