The hundreds of theatergoers who packed into Central London's historic Apollo Theatre on Thursday night were expecting to watch a mystery.
One of the actors said, 'Watch out!'" said one woman. "We thought it was part of the play."
It wasn't. Instead, it was part of the century-old structure's ornate plaster ceiling, which tumbled five stories onto the theatergoers, injuring scores of them, seven seriously
An ambulance official said a total of 76 people had been injured, though many of them were treated at the scene and released.
The Apollo is located next to Piccadilly Circus in the Soho district, which is usually packed with tourists, shoppers and diners at theater time.- CNN.com
An accident can happen anywhere in the world. The difference between Nigeria and saner Countries is the contingency plan/ emergence response put in place.
