Moshi garbage depot collapse: Death toll rises to 9, rescue ops end

Published by Webster

The five-day rescue operation at the Moshi Garbage Depot has ended after rescuers recovered one more body from the debris on Sunday, taking the death toll to nine. The tragedy unfolded on July 8 when a massive garbage mound collapsed onto the administrative building of the Waste-to-Energy project at the landfill site. Fourteen people were rescued or escaped, while nine workers lost their lives. Officials said 23 people were inside or around the building when the collapse occurred. Five workers escaped immediately after the incident, while rescue teams pulled nine others out alive during the operation.

Three substitutions in two games – on the face of it may look innocuous but these ended up saving England from exiting the World Cup in the Round of 32 and then the Round of 16. In a moment of need, Thomas Tuchel didn’t helplessly look at the English bench for a prayer. He instead had a plan – one that England have been hatching for a while now. There is no such thing as a cameo appearance for an England substitute. They are part of what Tuchel calls the ‘special operations’ team – a phrase he let out before the World Cup had even begun. Asked a question about Ivan Toney making it to the England team, Tuchel uttered the phrase that is used primarily in American football. Special teams is a group of eleven players who are used for kicking situations. Tuchel’s substitutes are all earmarked with certain roles to play in a match. A goal down against Congo, he brought Anthony Gordon on. Gordon, who had lost his place to Marcus Rashford …
