A fire broke out in the rubble of a Bangladesh factory complex Sunday night, killing what the country's fire chief described as the last remaining survivor from the building's collapse five days earlier.
"The fire broke out as we were cutting a beam to bring out what we believe was the last remaining survivor from the collapsed building. We managed to douse it, but as we came back we saw her dead," Ahmed Ali told AFP.
"She was a brave lady and fought until the end. We worked for 10-11 hours today just to try to bring her out alive. We took the challenge but we lost. It's broken all our hearts. Everyone became emotional," he said.
