 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

FedEx Flight 3609 makes emergency landing after its engine catches fire


A FedEx cargo plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport after it caught fire shortly after takeoff.


The Boeing 767-3S2F took off around 8 am on Saturday morning, but just minutes later, flames erupted from its right engine.


Footage showed the aircraft racing back to the tarmac with fire spewing from the wing as emergency crews rushed to put it out.


The plane landed safely at 8:07 am, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. No injuries were reported, and three people were onboard, Associated Press reported.


The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, along with FedEx, attributed the sudden ignition to a bird hitting the plane. 


“FedEx Flight 3609 from Newark to Indianapolis experienced a bird strike during takeoff. Our crew declared an emergency and returned safely to Newark.  We are thankful for the quick actions of our crew and first responders,” a FedEx spokesperson told The NY Post.

“Video from the incident shows the quick-thinking pilots returning the plane to land safely while the engine is on fire,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told Reuters.
