Pants on fire

The fashion world’s buzzing this week about a horrible factory fire in a Pakistani garment facility.  According to the New York Times, the fire killed nearly twice as many workers as the landmark Triangle shirtwaist factory fire of 1911 in New York, one of the worst industrial accidents in history.  It received a SA800 certification - a mark of high standards and conditions - just a month ago.  Clearly, the industry has more work to do with regards to international working conditions and monitoring.
