Players and fans had a narrow escape at the Vietnam Grand Prix Badminton Open on Tuesday,
after the roof of the sports centre where the competition was being held collapsed.
Luckily, the players, who would have been competing under the collapsed area, were alerted
to the impending danger by spectators and left the arena in time to escape injury. According
to reports, no one was injured.
Onlookers watched in shock as the ceiling collapsed, bringing down ceiling panels, a
steel frame, electrical wires and air conditioning vents. The organisers later decided to change
the venue, and the sports complex was closed for repairs. The incident is now being investigated.
