'It was like a bomb,' eye witnesses' tale of deadly Huruma collapse

It was a quiet Friday evening. Caroline Mwanzia had just had her dinner. She sat in her house watching television, the clock-ticking, her body clock counting down to her bedtime. Outside, the rains were pounding. The hum of the rain as the raindrops hit her iron sheets is all she could hear. It was normal. Tranquil.
Suddenly there was a loud bang – like a bomb—she said.

"It was just after we had had supper and now everybody was watching news. That's when we heard a loud bang. We rushed out in shock just to see the building collapsing. Then we saw a huge cloud of dust filling the air, thanks to street lights," she told The Standard on Sunday.
