Children injured
Balcony near Naples collapses – two dead
A woman (35) and a man (29) have died in the collapse of a balcony in Scampia near Naples (see video above). In addition, 13 other people were injured, including seven children aged between two and eight. They suffered trauma, broken bones and bruises.
The accident occurred late on Monday in Scampia near Naples - close to the former social housing complex "Le Vele" (The Sails), which was a negative symbol of gang crime and drug dealing. A balcony on the third floor of a building collapsed and fell onto a balcony below. Several people were there at the time.

The collapse of the balcony caused panic. A 29-year-old man died on impact and a 35-year-old woman succumbed to her serious injuries in hospital.
In addition, 13 people were injured, including seven children. The fire department had to evacuate parts of the building and the cause of the accident is still being investigated.
