Bulgarian Teens Die in Collapse of Disco Roof

SOFIA (Reuters) - At least seven teenagers died on Friday when a roof collapsed in a disco in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Interior Minister Georgi Petkanov said.

He told BTV television one teenager died on the spot and six others later in hospital. Four others were badly injured.

``It was a Christmas party, I was on the staircase when I heard screams from inside and I first thought that people were having fun,'' Anton Popov, who was waiting to get into the Indigo disco, told Reuters.

``Then guards came telling everyone to leave because the second floor had fallen,'' he said.

Petkanov said that at least 1,500 youngsters were waiting to get into the popular disco.
