Part of the roof/balcony collapses on the audience during a performance at the Apollo in the West End. Reports of casualties - rescue operation underway.

 

F*cking horrible.

Bloody hell. I know some of those buildings are old but you don't expect that. Just like you don't expect a helicopter landing on your head. Terrible news.

 

(While this isn't a time for jokes, I'm sure "bringing the house down" will be mentioned a lot on Twitter tonight...)

And I thought the Apollo was in Victoria?

 

Appalling reporting of dreadful news.

I left London just after 7 and there was a lot of thunder and lightening about, wonder if the building was hit in some way

BBC reporters looked shocked there have been no fatalities what a bunch of over paid Goulls

Ha just replied to you on another thread but clearly you have an agenda. Comical.

 

Although good skills in interpreting so much from their facial expressions and knowing the cause.

Were all the BBC reporters the same? Maybe they went on a training course where they had lavish refreshments that I as a licence payer am not happy about.

I love the way they are expecting an enquiry as to what happened...

100 year old ceilings occasionally let go.... They look fine, next thing they are on the floor.

It may have been assisted by a leak or noise.
