testimony to the high cost of cheap labour with
death toll rising to as high as 900.
No picture documents this unnecessary tragedy
more than the heartbreaking image of two
victims locked in a final embrace that captures
the moment the collapse took place. Both
victims lie in the debris together – blood
hardened on the man's cheek like a permanent
tear.
Shahidul Alam, founder of Pathshala, the South
Asian Institute of Photography, said that the
image is deeply disturbing but somehow
"hauntingly beautiful."
May their souls rest in peace.
