Safety first
Golam Ashraf, Gulshan, Dhaka
Without indulging in the blame game of who gave permission, who went for building a vertical type instead of horizontal type of factory or who was involved in the money whitening process for a high-rise building; the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Armed Forces Division (AFD) of the Chief Adviser's Office (CAO), Department of Fire Brigade, Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Finance and the Industries, the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) should evolve a safety method in the event of a 'Building Collapse'.During inclement weather, like an inflatable sea-raft of a sinking vessel (with a classification certificate) an inflatable compartment would inflate during the event of a building collapse which would turn like a lifesaving compartment, withstanding heavyweights of the crumbling building whereby the inmates would rush for safety. These life saving compartments would be fitted in every floor with emergency lights, food supplies and oxygen kits for helping the survivors until the rescuers reach and rescue them.
