British crust punks DOOM were playing a gig at the San Marten Club in Santiago, Chile last night, April 16th, when the building collapsed. The venue was over capacity by at least 50 people according to local reports, and the onset of fans caused a fence to fall and the building to collapse. Two people are dead, tweleve are injured with Recital.cl reporting seven of those are life threatening. The report also mentions that people tried to rush the show, causing the fence to collapse and the building to fall.
Our thoughts are with the friends and families of those injured.
Fans have taken to social media to post photos of the incident:
