Bangladesh survivor speaks to CNN’s Leone Lakhani

After spending 17 days trapped beneath the rubble of a collapsed building, 19-year-old seamstress Reshma talks to CNN’s Leone Lakhani (@LeoneCNN) about her ordeal from her hospital bed in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

While cracks in the building had already been detected, Reshma said her managers blamed it on water damage, and it was okay for her to continue working.

“Everyone was looking to see which parts were cracked. So I went in and I see that there’s a wall where a little bit is cracked,” Reshma recalls. “The managers said this is just water damage, and you guys can work.”
