Majorca building collapse: Four dead and 16 injured as hunt for survivors continues | BBC News


A desperate search for survivors is under way after a two-storey restaurant collapsed on the Spanish island of Majorca, killing four people and injuring 16, local emergency services say.

Several people are believed to be trapped under rubble at the site of the Medusa Beach Club, a beachside restaurant in one of the busiest areas of the regional capital, Palma de Majorca.

The building collapsed at about 20:30 local time (19:30 BST) on Thursday night. People fell into the basement below, where there were customers and staff.

Police say the terrace caved in because of “excessive weight” being placed on it, but investigations continue. Emergency workers have called for silence as they listen for survivors.
