Nightclub balcony gives way in Argentina

A high school graduation party in Argentina ended with the early morning collapse of a balcony, injuring over 10 students.

The accident, caught on camera, showed a group of students dancing and waving flags on the balcony before it dramatically gave way, sending the students into a heap on the floor below.

Nightclub owner Guillermo Rios was very apologetic about the incident. He said: "The truth, with what happened, I'm too ashamed to show my face and tell the kids I'm sorry."

Most of the injuries were minor, but one girl had a broken wrist and another had a broken shoulder. One other victim, also a girl, was kept overnight because of a head injury.
