Murder, not accident
Signs of collapse ignored by building owner; he vanishes after rescue; only Brac Bank responds to evacuation call. (April 25, 2013)

Thanks for publishing his picture. I was wondering if you could also publish pictures of factory owners who forced these workers to work, so that we would know a murderer is among us when we see them. Not only that, it would also help those who seek job in their factories.

The owner of the building along with the factory owners is fully responsible for the accident. All of them should be hanged in public to set an example for playing with poor people's lives.

No, it is definitely not a case of accident. It is a clear case of sheer greed, utter negligence and total damn-care attitude on the part of both the owner of the building and the factories there. Local administration's negligence is also equally responsible for this catastrophe. The owners being members of the ruling party know it for certain that no law in this country will ever be able to touch them. This sense of insured impunity has turned them into monsters and they are out to devour the lives of common people to satiate their fathomless greed. The ruling parties, whoever they might be, are the main source of their nourishment and sustenance. As a matter of fact, any comments on this disastrous tragedy will sound like a sort of mockery for the bereaved families who have been the tragic victims of our collective inhumanity.

It is mass murder and genocide.

Hang Rana right now for his flippant remarks on Ekushey Television.
Sunburn
People like him will remain unharmed.

This is cold-blooded murder for money. The owner of Rana Plaza, Sohel Rana is an established godfather politician who must be arrested before he vanishes. BGMEA may claim that Sohel Rana is an angel as Delwar Hossain of Tazreen Garment who got away scot-free, giving birth to callous and greedy scourges like Sohel Rana. Monsters like them can easily convert 5-storey buildings into 10-storeyed because of being a political gunman or remaining under political shelter.

This unfortunate happening will continue until and unless the greedy owners of those illegally constructed buildings are awarded punishment they deserve.

Power corrupts and greed has no limit. As long as the guilty are not brought to book and no strict building regulations implemented, I'm afraid more disasters like this will continue to happen in our country. Foreign companies are also to blame in looking for cheap goods and cutting cost for which the poor people have to pay with their lives.

Accident! No! It is a pre-planned murder! Each of the owners of the building and factories is responsible for this.
Nazmul Haq
These kinds of tragedies obviously happen when business and politics go hand in hand combined with corruption. I think there is no law and regulation in our country to prevent these accidents.

Congratulations to the BRAC Bank officials for making the smart choice.
