Two of the owners of the building that collapsed in Dhaka arrested

I'm not saying that anyone in Texas should be arrested just because a town got blown off the map because of their safety infractions, but I do notice that two of the owners of the eight-story building that collapsed in Bangladesh kill over 300.

"Two owners of garment factories in the building that collapsed on the outskirts of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka have been arrested.

Mahbubur Rahman Tapas and Balzul Samad Adnan are suspected of forcing staff to work in the eight-storey building, ignoring warnings about cracks.

At least 336 people are known to have died after the Rana Plaza in the suburb of Savar collapsed on Wednesday."
