Rescuers pulled out dozens of survivors and continued to look for more. Nearly 100 people were still unaccounted for at midday, authorities said, raising fears that the death toll could climb sharply. But officials did not know how many were in the tower when it fell at around 1.30am. “The building is literally pancaked,” Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said. “That is heartbreaking because it doesn’t mean, to me, that we are going to be as successful as we wanted to be in finding people alive.” Hours after the collapse, searchers were trying to reach a trapped child whose parents were believed to be dead.

The Gisborne Herald • Friday, June 25, 2021 SPORT 25 Thistle call on their Reserves Four first-team squad members leave for southern parts

FOOTBALL by John Gillies GISBORNE Thistle have lost four first- team squad members since their last Central Federation League game two weeks ago. Justo Rodriguez, Ema Martos and Agustin Ventre — friends in New Zealand from Argentina on working holiday — have moved south and are expected to link up with the North Wellington football club. The other player to leave is Tomek Frooms, a 20-year-old Londoner who attended the Crystal Palace academy from the time he was eight till he was 15, and then had a spell with AFC Wimbledon. He has left to join Central Federation League leaders Havelock North Wanderers. All four players joined Thistle last year. Frooms is an attacking midfield player or deep-lying striker, Martos is a central defender or holding midfielder, Ventre is a midfielder and Rodriguez usually plays wide in attacking or defensive positions. Frooms and Rodriguez generally commanded starting places, while Martos and Ventre were squad members who performed ably when called upon.
