"As hundreds of workers scrambled to escape the flaming factory after a boiler explosion, they found the main sliding door — 30 feet high, big enough for a truckload of cotton — firmly locked.

Horrific. Not just this terrible incident but also the working conditions these people, and almost certainly countless others, are subjected to.
