LED Wall Screen Falls on Students, Caught on Video
The fall of an LED wall screen that hit several students during the commemoration of the 40th People Power Revolution was captured on video.
The EDSA People Power Revolution was a peaceful protest that happened in the Philippines from February 22 to 25, 1986. Millions of Filipinos gathered along EDSA in Metro Manila to call for change in the government.
Instead of using violence, people prayed, marched, and stood together on the streets. Even soldiers joined the crowd. After four days, Marcos left the country, and Corazon Aquino became president.
Recently, the Facebook page Biconalong Jailer shared the video showing the LED wall screen collapsing and striking some students in Naga City. The post quickly went viral and received various reactions online.
The incident happened inside the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral while a program was ongoing. Many students and churchgoers were gathered to take part in the special event. In the middle of the activity, the LED wall screen, which was set up for the program, unexpectedly collapsed and hit three female students.
In the video, people can be seen rushing to help the students right after the screen fell. The sudden crash caused shock and concern among those present inside the cathedral.
Witnesses said the situation became tense as everyone tried to understand what had just happened. Volunteers and responders immediately moved to assist the injured students. Members of the group known as the Bicolanong Jailers, who were present during the event, quickly responded and helped manage the situation.
The three students who were hit by the falling screen were attended right away. As of this writing, there has been no detailed update released about the full extent of their injuries, but many are hoping for their fast recovery.
The social media users expressed their reactions to the video:
