87 dead in Bangladesh building collapse

AN eight-story building has collapsed near Bangladesh's capital, killing at least 87 people and trapping many more.

The building in the Dhaka suburb of Savar housed several garment factories but is now a jumbled mess of shattered concrete and bricks, officials said.

Tens of thousands of people gathered at the site, some of them weeping survivors, some searching for family members.

Firefighters and soldiers using drilling machines and cranes worked together with local volunteers in the search for other survivors.

Zahidur Rahman, director of public relations at Enam Medical College and Hospital, said by Wednesday evening 87 people had been confirmed dead.

Another 600 survivors had been rescued, Brigidier General Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder said.

Reports indicated the death toll could rise.
