A ceiling collapse at a Cambodian shoe factory has killed at least two people, with more injured. The workers were making shoes for Asics, a Japanese shoe company. Workers said that it the collapse had happened slightly later, many more people would have been injured. Asics said that they would consider measures to improve safety at overseas suppliers. About 8,000 people work in the factory, with most making about $75 a month, the minimum wage in Cambodia.
