According to an industry official, 3,122 people were in the building, called Rana Plaza, at the time of the incident and approximately 2,350 have been saved. Deputy fire services director Mizanur Rahman said his team plans to keep up the search among the rubble that was once a series of four factories.
According to Women's Wear Daily, Rana Plaza housed New Wave Style, Ether Tex, Canton Tech Apparel, and New Wave Bottoms, and the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity told the trade "the factories were making items for clothing retailers Mango of Spain and Benetton of Italy." The Times adds that activists found "labels and documents linking the factories" to Children's Place and Cato Fashions, none of which have commented.
