 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.

Overturned semi-truck releases 2 million bees onto Texas highway, prompting shelter-in-place warning

Residents of a Texas neighborhood were urged to shelter indoors on Sunday after an overturned semi-truck released an estimated 2 million bees onto a local roadway.

The incident occurred in the Mauriceville area when an 18-wheeler, transporting roughly 50,000 pounds of live bees, rolled over while attempting to negotiate a turn near the intersection of Colony Drive and FM 1130. While the commercial truck driver escaped the accident without injuries, the crash ruptured the cargo containers, causing a massive swarm of insects to quickly flood the surrounding area.

In response to the hazard, emergency services personnel issued a warning advising nearby homeowners to stay inside with their doors and windows shut. A local television photographer capturing footage of the scene was reportedly stung during the containment efforts.

A coalition of local apiarists—ranging from large-scale commercial operators to backyard enthusiasts—quickly mobilized at the crash site. The volunteer beekeepers worked collaboratively to safely round up the displaced swarms and load them onto replacement vehicles for transport to a regional honey farm.
