Wedding Party Tragedy as Building Collapses in Chicago
An abandoned three story building collapsed on three wedding procession cars in Chicago’s West Side, killing bridesmaid Lella Stathos 18 and father of the groom John Poulopoulos 58, injuring nine others. The bride and groom were not in the cars. The structure, over 100 years old and abandoned for months, toppled as the lead car neared a Greek restaurant where 150 guests awaited. Firefighters freed the victims after a 20 minute effort and authorities cleared debris with bulldozers.
