. One year on and they're still trying to figure out how this happened? It's like, basic safety protocols fail, people die... when are they gonna get their act together? And all this grief and outrage is just a distraction from the real issues, if you ask me. Corruption's still rife, but who's holding anyone accountable? The only thing that'll change now is that it's been one year, and the politicians can say they're 'remembering' without doing anything concrete about fixing the system... sigh 
. It's crazy how quickly you go from having a good day to losing someone you love in an instant. The fact that the protests against corruption are still going strong is awesome, though - it shows that people aren't forgetting what happened and are still demanding justice for those who died 
. I hope this anniversary brings some sense of closure to everyone involved, but at the same time, I'm sure the pain will still be felt deeply

. The fact that the exact time of the collapse is marked by a somber 16-minute silence is just heartbreaking. It's crazy to think about all the what-ifs, you know? What if someone had reported those cracks in the roof sooner? What if there were better safety measures in place?
. It's also interesting to see how one year on, the impact is still being felt. I can only imagine how tough it must be for the families of the victims and those directly affected by the collapse.
