When Sultan left his wife Zeynab at their ground-floor shop in Eastleigh's Isli area to head to the mosque for Friday afternoon prayers, he had no idea it would be the last time he would see her standing.

Minutes later, an 18-storey building came crashing down around her.

Upon hearing the news, Sultan ran back across the road, only to find a mountain of shattered concrete where the building had once stood.
