The number has continued to grow.

The blaze comes just two weeks after the collapse of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, home to five garment factories, killed at least 950 people and became the worst tragedy in the history of the global garment manufacturing industry. The disaster has raised alarm about the often deadly working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry, which provides clothing for major retailers around the globe.

A certain degree of justice here, though.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - A fire at a sweater manufacturer killed eight people - including a senior police officer, a Bangladeshi politician and a top clothing industry official - barely two weeks after the collapse of a building housing other garment factories where the death toll approached 1,000 on Thursday.

Unfortunately in the eyes of many people, the value of the life of one Bangladeshi is a extremely tiny fraction of the life of one European or North American.

Damn! Why is the death toll keep going up? Are people still in there working two weeks after the collapse and fire?

It takes a long time to search through the debris of a eight-storey factory.
