Girl survives 20 ft glass drop

Clubbing students watched in shock as a tourist plummeted two storeys through a glass roof outside the Bridge nightclub on Monday night. The young girl in her twenties miraculously survived the fall from a backpackers’ hostel next to the nightclub, but she sustained multiple wounds to the arms and stomach. She was taken away in an ambulance after firefighters arrived at the scene to free her from the collapsed roof. A second-year linguist from LMH, described her witnessing of the event as a “horrific” start to a night out and is still traumatised as a result. Police believe that the fall was accidental, but environmental health officers have been called in to investigate the hazardous area. The Bridge was quick to dissociate itself from the incident, reassuring students in the queue that their premises were not the site of the accident.ARCHIVE: 1st Week MT2003
