Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74364, member: 636"] A passenger got killed when two massive trees got ripped out of the ground during a storm and landed straight on top of a Honda Fit operating as an unlicensed taxi near Makoni Shopping Centre in Chitungwiza. The driver and one other person made it out alive, but the guy in the back died on impact when the vehicle got completely flattened. People online went off about how the city had basically zero emergency response capability to deal with the wreckage. One person pointed out that the council had just been seizing crane trucks for illegal container placements, and then when they actually needed heavy equipment to pull the car out, nobody had anything available. The whole thing has sparked arguments about whether local government can handle disasters at all. [/QUOTE]
