Last night, four people died and 16 were injured when a nightclub and restaurant collapsed in Playa de Palma.
What Happened?
A terrace of the two-storey building is believed to have collapsed through to the basement of the building, which has left only the façade still standing, local media said.
Reports overnight suggested as many as ten people were feared trapped under the rubble as desperate rescue operations continued.
Some Are Trapped
Emergency crews told concerned locals gathering at the scene to remain silent so that rescue workers could hear sounds from trapped tourists.
Psychology experts were also brought in to support victims traumatised by the horrific events.
As it is, the total number of injured is now believed to stand at 16.
Identities of People Who Died
Local media reported the three women and one man made up the deceased, and that two of them worked at the club.
The nightclub only unveiled a new rooftop bar just a few days ago.Â
A photo of the renovation was posted on Wednesday with the caption: ‘Totally different, New rooftop.’Â
The bar is understood to be popular with British and German tourists, although details on the identities of those affected remain scarce.
