A recent incident at a theater in Wenatchee occurred when part of the building began to collapse during a movie screening. Battalion Chief Cam Phillips told KING of Seattle that a man warned his partner to run after hearing warning sounds, but his girlfriend was caught in the debris. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Phillips said, "This was a best-case scenario in a bad situation," as stated by News18. The event, which happened when the theater was not crowded, may lead to a review of safety standards in theaters and similar venues.
