First Body Retrieved From Kenyan Collapsed Building After Weeklong Search
Rescuers used thermal imaging to search for 16 missing people after officials said the 18-story building lacked required approvals.
- On Friday, searchers recovered the body of a woman from the rubble of an 18-story building in Nairobi's Eastleigh commercial area that collapsed eight days ago, with 16 people still missing.
- Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja stated the building lacked required construction approvals and that occupying ground-floor shops was illegal without an occupation certificate.
- Members of China's Blue Sky Rescue Team joined Kenyan firefighters using thermal imaging technology, which officials reported detected two human beings trapped beneath the concrete and steel debris.
- Families continue camping at the collapse site after a week, while four people rescued earlier recounted traumatic experiences being trapped beneath the structure.
- Since Saturday, no other survivors have been pulled from the debris as searchers and families grow increasingly doubtful anyone could survive more than three days under the rubble.
