Due to this, factories collapse daily killing or severely injuring workers. The most famous example of this is the 2013 Rana Plaza building collapse which killing over 1,000 workers as they were forced to go back in the factory when large cracks in the walls were reported. here is a picture of the debris lying after the collapse.
