The Versailles wedding hall (Hebrew:אולמי ורסאי), located in Talpiot, Jerusalem, Israel, is the site of the worst civil disaster in Israel's history. At 22:43 on May 24, 2001, during the wedding of Keren and Asaf Dror, a large portion of the third floor of the four-story building collapsed. As a result, 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, the youngest victim. Another 380 were injured, including the bride who suffered serious pelvic injuries that required surgery. Asaf, who escaped serious injury, carried her in his arms from the rubble.
The disaster shocked the Israeli public not only because it was one of the worst building disasters in the country's history, but because the event was documented on a camcorder and broadcast on local and international television.
Rescue efforts
Rescue efforts were carried out by the Home Front Command's Search & Rescue Unit and the Yachtza reserve unit. Rescue efforts commenced immediately after the collapse and continued until 4pm on Saturday May 26, 2001. Eli Beer was the first EMT on the scene and launched Israel's mass casualty response system. Three people were pulled from the rubble alive and 23 bodies were removed.
On May 24, 2001 A wedding celebration met with tragedy as a large portion of the third floor they were dancing on collapsed. 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin.

Senior Road Tower Collapse
December 7, 1982 in Missouri City, Texas, construction on an 1800 foot television tower is nearing completion. As the workers prepare to place the final antennas on the top of the tower, one of the engineers involved begins to video tape the final stages of construction. Suddenly, disaster strikes as a U-bolt in the pulley system used to raise the antennae fails and causes the antennae to fall. If you look closely, you can see some of the construction workers falling with the antennae. On its way down, the antennae broke two guy wires used for stability and soon the entire tower came crashing down in less than 17 seconds.

A large portion of the third floor of Jerusalem's three-story Versailles Wedding Hall collapsed at 22:43 on May24,2001, during the wedding of Keren and Asaf Dror. As a result of the two stories, 23 people died, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, who was the youngest victim. Another 380 people were hurt, including the bride, who needed surgery for serious pelvic injuries. Asaf, who escaped serious injury, carried out his wife of the rubble in his arms.
Not only was the disaster shocking to the Israeli public because it was one of the worst building disasters in the country's history, but it was also captured on camera and broadcast on local and international television.

December 7, 1982 in Missouri City, Texas, construction on an 1800 foot television tower is nearing completion. As the workers prepare to place the final antennas on the top of the tower, one of the engineers involved begins to video tape the final stages of construction. Suddenly, disaster strikes as a U-bolt in the pulley system used to raise the antennae fails and causes the antennae to fall. If you look closely, you can see some of the construction workers falling with the antennae. On its way down, the antennae broke two guy wires used for stability and soon the entire tower came crashing down in less than 17 seconds. As the tower begins collapsing, the cameraman drops his camera and makes a run for cover. 3 men riding the antennae to the top and 2 men on thetower at the time of its collapse were all killed. 3 other workers were injured after jumping off the 2nd story roof of a nearby building that was crushed by the collapsing tower.

#Jerusalem #WeddingHall #Disaster
A large portion of the third floor of Jerusalem's three-story Versailles Wedding Hall collapsed at 22:43 on May24,2001, during the wedding of Keren and Asaf Dror. As a result of the two stories, 23 people died, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, who was the youngest victim. Another 380 people were hurt, including the bride, who needed surgery for serious pelvic injuries. Asaf, who escaped serious injury, carried out his wife of the rubble in his arms.
Not only was the disaster shocking to the Israeli public because it was one of the worst building disasters in the country's history, but it was also captured on camera and broadcast on local and international television.

December 7, 1982 in Missouri City, Texas, construction on an 1800 foot television tower is nearing completion. As the workers prepare to place the final antennas on the top of the tower, one of the engineers involved begins to video tape the final stages of construction. Suddenly, disaster strikes as a U-bolt in the pulley system used to raise the antennae fails and causes the antennae to fall. If you look closely, you can see some of the construction workers falling with the antennae. On its way down, the antennae broke two guy wires used for stability and soon the entire tower came crashing down in less than 17 seconds. As the tower begins collapsing, the cameraman drops his camera and makes a run for cover. 3 men riding the antennae to the top and 2 men on thetower at the time of its collapse were all killed. 3 other workers were injured after jumping off the 2nd story roof of a nearby building that was crushed by the collapsing tower.

The Versailles wedding hall (Hebrew:אולמי ורסאי), located in Talpiot, Jerusalem, Israel, is the site of the worst civil disaster in Israel's history. At 22:43 on May 24, 2001, during the wedding of Keren and Asaf Dror, a large portion of the third floor of the four-story building collapsed. As a result, 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, the youngest victim. Another 380 were injured, including the bride who suffered serious pelvic injuries that required surgery. Asaf, who escaped serious injury, carried her in his arms from the rubble.
The disaster shocked the Israeli public not only because it was one of the worst building disasters in the country's history, but because the event was documented on a camcorder and broadcast on local and international television.
Rescue efforts
Rescue efforts were carried out by the Home Front Command's Search & Rescue Unit and the Yachtza reserve unit. Rescue efforts commenced immediately after the collapse and continued until 4pm on Saturday May 26, 2001. Eli Beer was the first EMT on the scene and launched Israel's mass casualty response system. Three people were pulled from the rubble alive and 23 bodies were removed.
