Woman gives birth beneath rubble of factory A rescue worker searches the rubble of the collapsed building. A young woman gave birth while trapped underneath the rubble of the garment factory that collapsed in the Bangladeshi city of Dhaka last week, killing more than 340 people. A rescuer has said the search party he was in found the woman and her newborn under a tangle of concrete pillars. "The lady who gave birth to a baby boy was rescued on Wednesday after six hours," said Didar Hossain. She gave birth while inside the building. She was about 26 or 27 years old. When we found her, she said, 'Please save my baby first'. Mr Hossain said she did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries and was rescued from the debris, reunited with relatives and taken to her family's home. "The baby was crying," he added. The umbilical cord was still there. After bringing them out, we placed the baby in a cloth. There were other women around who took the responsibility to cut the umbilical cord. The woman's tale of survival was one of a number of escape stories that emerged on Saturday. They included a cluster of 40 survivors who were pulled out unhurt from a half-collapsed room beneath the tangled concrete and steel beams. Details of the rescue emerged as two factory bosses and two engineers were detained by police investigating how the building collapsed. Officials said that the Rana Plaza factory had been built on spongy ground without the correct permits, and that workers were sent in on Wednesday despite having been warned the day before that it was structurally unsafe. Anger at the alleged negligence has prompted protests, with police using tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets on Saturday to quell demonstrators who torched cars. Police said that the owner of the eight-storey building had as yet failed to hand himself in.
