Three updates from my brother in law who is right there in the thick of things. Knowing him - he is helping.

Savar tragedy: At this moment the death toll is 32. With 4000 working at the time of the disaster the death toll will be much much higher most probably in the thousands. At this moment we are using ropes tied together to rescue workers and ntv is reporting about hartal. This is one of the biggest tragedy of our nation and the state needs to move with what ever we got. God help us all.

Nine floors stacked over one another with people under the rubble. It is imperative that we move heavy equipment on site to save those who can be saved. As for those who are being rescued needs to be transferred to Dhaka as local facilities are already over whelmed and some critically injured are dying because of capacity issue. We need to setup blood donation camps in Dhaka and Savaar and above all need disaster management coordination.

It is soon going to be dark. We need to get proper lighting to help the rescue activity continue during the night time.
