neglected even as we rush to build new homes. Old buildings  have
historical significance. I wonder if Gambia has a way to designate  buildings and
places as historical sites??? A people without history is forever  groping for
a future. Haruna.

Collapsing building causes havoc in Banjul







Wednesday, April 29, 2009
The balcony of a two  storey building, located at No. 11A Cotton Street in
Banjul, last Tuesday  morning at around 11:30 am collapsed on four people
while they were sitting  under it.

Sering Sillah, an eye witness, said the incident  occurred when one Oumie
Corra, climbed on top of the building to hang cloths she  had washed on the
balcony. According to him, during the process, parts of the  structure
collapsed and the girl and a lot of rubble fell down on the four  labourers who
where relaxing under the building.

He confirmed to the  Daily Observer that the girl suffered from a broken
arm and the four labourers  sustained serious injures. He said the girl was
then rushed to the Royal  Victoria Teaching Hospital. He further revealed that
three out of the four  labourers had broken legs from the accident and the
other sustained internal  bleeding.
