Several people are feared trapped after a multi-storey building in Kahawa West, Nairobi collapsed on Sunday, October 20.
A seven-second clip seen by Viral Tea revealed the building crumbling down much to the horror of onlookers who scampered to safety as a huge cloud of dust formed after the collapse.
Another clip showed a group of residents gathered outside the building before a man could be heard instructing them to move clear of the ill-fated building which crashed down to earth seconds later.
