"At least 289 killed as fire in Pakistani garment factory rages"

More casualties expected.

Here.

At the end of the story is a line noting that 25 were killed in a factory fire in India.

We have so much in common, with enemies much greater than small-minded men and women who work to foster hatred...

This is the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire all over again, workers trapped with no sprinklers and inadequate exits that were probably locked to keep them from leaving with any scraps.

Sweatshop owners are perfectly happy to burn people to death rather than spend a few bucks on safety.
