...latest has a section of the ceiling. Theater was opened in 1901 and take into account some construction going on next door...(vibrations)

Built in London in 1901, claimed to be a very steep balcony.

The balcony of part of the roof collapsed. Perhaps caused by heavy rain.

“Chris Christie, please don’t sit up there” was heard shortly before the collapse.

Prayers up for those involved and for those who are on the scene to assist. Apparently it was a children’s show and the theater was packed.

The phrase, "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime," is from Arthur Conan-Doyle's story, Silver Blaze, in which Sherlock Holmes says that to a Scotland Yard Detective.

On Jan 28th 1922 the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater in Washington DC collapsed and killed 98 people. A snowstorm caused that collapse.

Hopefully injuries in this theater will be light, We will have to wait and see.

Show is probably based on the book about the asperger kid.

Prayers for everyone there.

So far, it seems like they have about 30 injured. I don’t believe there have been any deaths so far.

One of the reports said that the entire central dome collapsed.
