17 killed in Tanzanian building collapse

Officials in Tanzania say at least 17 people, including two children, have been killed when a building collapsed in the city of Dar es Salaam. Eighteen people have been rescued from the rubble of the 16-storey building which came crashing down on Friday, while dozens are still missing. The multi-storey building was under construction in Tanzania's economic capital when it collapsed. Regional commissioner Saidi Mecky Sadicky says rescuers were still looking for two children. Several dozen people in all are still missing around the site, which was littered with huge chunks of concrete.
