EXCHANGE FLOOR COLLAPSE INJURES 80
A mezzanine floor inside the Jakarta Stock Exchange tower collapsed on Monday, injuring nearly 80 people and forcing a chaotic evacuation. Security camera footage circulated online showed the collapse, with a group of people plunging several metres to the ground as the structure gave way beneath them. People fled the building through a lobby strewn with debris. Emergency personnel tended to the injured on the grass and pavement outside. National police spokesman Setyo Wasisto said most of the injured were visiting college students from Palembang in Sumatra. Wasisto ruled out terrorism as a cause of the collapse. “There is no bomb element in the incident,” he said.
