Nechells recycling plant accident: Dad of seven among five men killed in tragedy
 Five men died when a huge concrete wall collapsed on top of them at a Birmingham recycling plant on Thursday.
The 15ft tall wall, made of heavy concrete blocks, came crashing down at the Shredmet site in Aston Church Road, Nechells.
A sixth man miraculously managed to escape, digging his own way out of the rubble despite his leg having been broken.
Among the dead was Saibo Sillah, 42, who was married and had seven children, including two-year-old twins.
The other victims were named locally as Alimamo Jammeh, Ousman Jabbie, Bangaly Dukureh and Mohammed Jagana.
All five were Spanish nationals originally from The Gambia, and were agency workers.
The grim scene that greeted rescuers was one of devastation.................................... |
