Collapsed Building in Dar Es Salaam Kariakoo

On the morning of Saturday, November 18, 2023, a devastating building collapse occurred in the Kariakoo area of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The tragic incident claimed the lives of 13 people, while more than 80 individuals have been rescued. Rescuers are still working tirelessly, as sounds from survivors trapped under the debris have been reported. Oxygen and water are being sent through gaps to aid those still stuck, highlighting the urgency of the ongoing rescue mission.

This video takes you to the site of the Dar es Salaam collapsed building to explore:

-What led to the tragic Kariakoo building collapse?
-The possible role of unauthorized modifications and lack of enforcement of building regulations.
T-he critical importance of building permits in ensuring safety and structural integrity.
-How this disaster impacts the traders and supply chains tied to Kariakoo Market Dar es Salaam Tanzania.

Reports suggest that construction work in the basement, potentially unapproved or improperly inspected, may have weakened the structure. This raises pressing concerns about how well building permits are enforced in Dar es Salaam city where urbanization is rapidly advancing. Permits and proper architectural planning are crucial for safe development, but this incident underscores the consequences of ignoring them.

Really so much.pain..see you in heaven

[barakagashaza]

be very careful when your walking around with your phone in busy streets of Dar es salaam

[muguruki]

My heart goes out to those poor souls and the families of those who've perished in this tragedy.

I'm in Kariakoo now, it's absolute chaos. Msimbazi Street blocked off by the old bill, all the traffic clogging all the nearby streets.

[visionaryentertainment]

As an architecture can u give us analysis on why the building collapsed and what advice do u give to us audience when building??

[naturelle]

This for me was a very unfortunate incident. The kind of deaths that could have been avoided. I blame those incharge of surveying the buildings and giving permits without checking the safety of the users.

[mariej]

Huyu si alitengeneza video akatunyali akitulinganisha na Kenya??. Anatafuta nini tena tz?

[samwelzakaria]

[hi_lo]

Google map can be a joke, it will take you around and around to your destination to make your travel path longer distance. Maybe Google strategy to wanted you to buy more fuel ⛽️ and the fuel companies racked some revenues 😂😂😂
