Graphic Image: Victims of building collapse locked in final embrace

Dhaka embrace
This is very sad. The Bangladesh garment factory tragedy is as a result of cheap labour with death toll rising to as high as 900.The most heartbreaking is the image of two victims locked in a final embrace that captures the moment the collapse took place. Both victims lie in the debris together – blood hardened on the man’s cheek like a permanent tear. 

Shahidul Alam, founder of Pathshala, the South Asian Institute of Photography, said that the image is deeply disturbing but somehow “hauntingly beautiful.”

May their souls rest in peace....amen
