The last time there was a manufacturing disaster in North America was;
March 25, 1911: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City. This was a major industrial disaster in the US, causing the death of more than 100 garment workers who either died in the fire or jumped to their deaths. The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, which fought for better working conditions for sweatshop workers in that industry.

At 8 am local time, on April 24, 2013, the Savar building collapsed killing 1129 workers and wounding 2500. Half of the victims were women and their children, who were in nurseries within the building. This factory was known to manufacture clothes for brands such as; Walmart, Joe Fresh, the Children's Place and Primark.
Two days before, the building was showing large cracks in it's walls and was deemed unsafe by an engineer. The next day the owner of the building, Sohel Rana, claimed the building to be safe and told the workers to resume work or they would not be paid for that month. If the workers refused they were hit with sticks and forced back into the building. When a generator on the top floor was turned on, it shook the entire building causing it collapse.
