Machinery blamed for Dhaka collapse

Preliminary results of a government inquiry into last week's collapse of a nine-story building on the outskirts of Bangladesh's capital have found that "heavy machinery and high-capacity generators" were "largely responsible," according to state media.
"During the inquiry, we have found that use of substandard materials during the construction also contributed to the building collapse," committee head Main Uddin Khandaker told Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha.
He predicted the committee would complete its report within a few days.
The preliminary conclusion came as police arrested engineer Abdur Razzak Khan on a charge of negligence, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha reported. (CNN)
