LUCKY: Dost Mohammed's taxi was crushed under the debris of Yusuf Manzil yesterday. |
The passenger paid the fare and Mohammed was just about to start his taxi. "Suddenly something huge fell on my car.
As I sat behind the wheel, paralysed with shock, the roof of my cab collapsed and hit me on the head," said Mohammed. He was pulled out of the taxi by a bystander.
"It was only when I got out of the taxi that I realised I had been given another life as the whole building collapsed before me," added the cabbie.
