A brief video recorded by one of the people who was on the roof terrace of the Medusa Beach Club in Playa de Palma last Thursday shows the part of the roof that collapsed onto the ground floor. The time of the recording was 20.18, moments after the collapse.

Almost all the people who were on the terrace at the time were Dutch tourists. The four people who tragically lost their lives were two female German tourists, aged 20 and 30; Mariama Syll, 23, who worked at the Medusa Beach Club; and 44-year-old Abdoulaye Diop, who was having a coffee at the time.
