Dozens injured in London's Apollo Theater ceiling collapse
Part of the ceiling of London's Apollo Theater has collapsed. London's Ambulance service says they have treated 81 people and seven others have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. According to the London Fire Brigade, all those who were trapped have been freed.
The theater is in the heart of London’s busy West End theater district. It has 775 seats over four levels and was packed for a performance of the Curious Incident Of The Dog in the Night-time. The reason behind the collapse is under investigation. The Apollo Theater was built in 1901. It is owned and operated by Nimax Theatres.
Eyewitnesses say they heard "a crackling" noise before the collapse at about 8:30 p.m. local time.
