According to Gifty, she was able to rush out of the apartment building quickly enough together with a few people before the building collapsed.

"It was so scary and sad. We heard people screaming for help but there was nothing we could do about it. Buildings were falling and street was cracking so we had to try and stay on the safe part of the road," she added.

Gifty Adams mentioned that the entire nation is in a state of shock to the extent that cities that were not directly affected by the incident were also recording high levels of road accidents because of anxiety.
