A possible overload caused by crowding on the terrace used for chill out is the hypothesis on which the fire brigade technicians are working on the causes of the tragic collapse of the Medusa Beach Club in Playa de Palma in Mallorca, which caused at least four deaths and more 16 injured, seven of them in very serious conditions and nine in critical conditions, according to the latest non-definitive toll from the emergency services.
Located on the first floor, due to the excessive weight the terrace would have collapsed from a height of about four meters onto the underlying attic, which in turn collapsed, sinking into the basement, where the restaurant area of the restaurant was located, according to what he explained in statements to reporters by the head of the Palma de Mallorca fire brigade, Eder Garcia.
Most of the victims of the collapse were found in the basement. Most of them would be international tourists, although the identification is not yet confirmed.
