Four deaths and 21 injuries reported after bar collapse in Majorca.
A tragedy has struck the beautiful island of Majorca as a two-storey building collapsed, claiming the lives of four individuals and leaving 21 injured. The incident occurred at a popular beach resort, where a bar called the Medusa Beach Club was located. It is believed that four of the injured are in critical condition, having been trapped under the falling rubble.

As emergency responders, including police and firefighters, arrived at the scene, the gravity of the situation became apparent. Up to 10 people are still trapped under the slabs of concrete, and rescue efforts are underway to save them. The emergency services are using a crane to remove the heavy debris, as they work tirelessly to find any survivors.

Sadly, the death toll is expected to rise as emergency services continue to comb through the wreckage. The Medusa Beach Club, which was located on the ground floor of the building, completely collapsed to the basement. The cause of the collapse is still unknown, but it is being reported that a false ceiling may have been the culprit.

Initially, it was reported that two people had been confirmed dead, but that number has since increased. The chaos and devastation at the site can be seen in live footage, which shows multiple ambulances and fire engines, with one of them equipped with a cherry picker. The street outside the beach club has been closed off to allow emergency services to work efficiently.

According to a spokesperson from the regional emergency response coordination centre, the building collapse occurred on Avenida Cartago in Playa de Palma. They have activated an emergency response and are working closely with firefighters and local police to manage the situation. Sadly, the latest update from the police confirms that four people have lost their lives, and the bodies remain at the site.

The entire community is in shock and mourning as the news of this tragedy spreads. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of those who have been affected by this devastating event. Let us all come together and support the emergency responders as they continue their heroic efforts to save any remaining survivors.
