Yeah, it's much more detailed on TV.
They're saying the part of the roof that fell was about 5 metres. The witnesses descriptions are scary.

Yeah I'm glad there are no Deaths. When the man said he looked up and pieces of the balcony fell on his head
My Nursery / Kindergarten was only 2 minutes away from the theater
