Photos: Apollo Theatre ceiling collapses in London, Injures more than 75


Hunks of plaster and dust rained down on a packed audience when the ceiling of a London theatre partially collapsed last night Thur Dec.19. More than 75 people were injured: seven seriously, authorities said.
The collapse at the Apollo Theatre took place around 8:15 p.m. local time during a performance of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time at the height of the Christmas holiday season. Plaster and masonry from a section of the ceiling tumbled down, bringing parts of the theatre's balconies down with it onto the audience, police said.

More than 700 people were in the theatre at the time, according to the London Fire Brigade.
Officials said most of the injured were "walking wounded" with upper-body injuries, and that all are conscious and breathing.
