Dak Apollo Theatre Londen stort in  

LONDEN -
Een deel van het dak van het bekende Londense Apollo Theatre op West End is donderdagavond ingestort tijdens een voorstelling. Volgens getuigen zijn meerdere mensen beklemd of gewond geraakt.
 
Dat meldt BBC. Een getuige hoorde ,,een krakend geluid'' voor de instorting, om ongeveer kwart over negen Nederlandse tijd. Het publiek ging er in eerste instantie vanuit dat dit geluid onderdeel van de voorstelling uitmaakte.

Er is sprake van zeker 30 gewonden, van wie enkele ernstig. De brandweer meldt dat er acht brandweerwagens zijn ingezet om hulp te verlenen. De paniek in het theater was groot. Mensen kwamen huilend naar buiten. Sommigen zaten onder het puin en het bloed.

Het theater aan Shaftesbury Avenue zat vol toeschouwers. Ze waren gekomen voor de voorstelling The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Kennington bus crash: 32 injured after double decker hits tree in south London

Police, ambulance and fire crews have been at the scene of a double-decker bus crash in Kennington Road, south London, in which a number of people were injured.
Two passengers who were trapped on the top deck of the bus have now been freed, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. Two other passengers, including a 19-year-old woman remain in a critical condition.
The tree became embedded into the front of the bus and emergency services had to use specialist equipment to access one side of the vehicle.
LFB Station Manager Clive Robinson, who was at the scene, said the collision was a "particularly nasty" crash and crews worked in "very challenging circumstances" to get the passengers off the bus.
London Ambulance Service said they treated 32 patients who were sent to three London hospitals. Twenty-five, it said, were walking wounded with cuts and bruises. Five suffered more serious injuries, such as head and leg injuries.
