Several tiers of stands in an improvised bullring collapsed during a bullfight in central Colombia on Sunday, leaving at least five dead and dozens injured — figures that could increase in the coming hours — as spectators were trapped in the rubble.
Graphic video provided to The Washington Post by a witness at a bullfighting event on June 26 appears to show dozens of spectators fall as stands collapse. BOGOTÁ, Colombia — Several tiers of crowded stands in an improvised bullring collapsedpeople dead and hundreds injured — figures that could increaseThe tragedy took place in El Espinal, a small town located some 95 miles southwest of Bogotá.
Hector Ortiz, 64, could not believe the scene. A woman next to him shouted “That balcony is about to fall down!” and“After the first balcony collapsed, it pulled the next one, and so on, and so on,” Ortiz told The Washington Post. “It was the gate the bulls go through that stopped the collapse. Otherwise we’d be talking about a much bigger tragedy.”Every year, the mayor’s office and private parties in El Espinal organize events to celebrate the Feast of Saint Peter on June 29.
Velez said 50 volunteers from the civil defense were working to transfer the most serious cases of nearly 322 injured spectators from the bullring to the town’s one hospital. Firefighters and police also helped. The local health system sent a “red alert” to the community.On Twitter, Colombia President Iván Duque expressed concern for the victims and called for a prompt investigation.
