The Moment Bullfight Stands Collapsed In Colombia, Leaving 4 Dead

The departmental government would move to ban the Corralejas, saying they were dangerous and cruel to animals.

At least four people have been killed and more than 300 were injured after a stand collapsed during a bullfight in central Colombia.

Footage of the collapse quickly went viral on social media. It showed dozens of people teasing and playing with a bull during the popular event known as Corralejo. Suddenly, three levels of the stand collapsed, trapping hundreds of men, women and children underneath.

Another drone footage of the horrifying incident showed people trying to escape from the stands while a bull continues to roam in the arena. As people screamed, some even jumped off their seats and rushed to help, trying to heave wood and other debris aside.

The traditional Corralejo event involved members of the public entering the ring to engage the bulls. The tragedy took place in El Espinal, a small town located around 95 miles southwest of Bogota. Every year, the mayor’s office and private parties in the region organise events to celebrate the Feast of Saint Peter on June 29.
