Bangladesh minister on factory collapse: 'It happens everywhere'
Bangladesh’s finance minister has downplayed the impact of the factory-building collapse on his country’s garment industry, saying he didn’t think it was “really serious” hours after the 500th body was pulled from the debris.
Abul Maal Abdul Muhith spoke as the government cracked down on those it blamed for the disaster in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, which he said "are individual cases of ... accidents. It happens everywhere."
