A moment of panic was recorded in the food court of the Metropolitano shopping center, in the western district of Rio, on Saturday afternoon (29). Many people, including elderly people, threw themselves on the ground in fear, believing that what had happened was gunfire.
But the commotion was caused by an unexpected phenomenon: the floor of the place began to “creak” strongly, creating a state of confusion and fear among the customers.
Metropolitano Barra Shopping Center reported that a floor separation occurred in a section of the food court. The maintenance team was mobilized and an area of 35 square meters was closed.
There were no injuries during the accident. The mall continues to operate normally.
