Roof collapses at Majorca's international airport

Part of the roof has collapsed at Majorca's international airport sparking panic among passengers. 

Debris and glass fell from the ceiling into the baggage claim area of Son Sant Joan Airport on the Spanish island early this afternoon. 

It comes amid very high passenger numbers at the airport - with thousands of British holidaymakers flocking to Majorca this summer. 

Fortunately no one was injured in the incident- with the vending machines in the arrivals hall taking the brunt of the impact. 

However, a loud bang was heard sparking a 'huge scare' in the arrivals hall, local news website Ultima Hora has reported.

The area was cordoned off by airport and security personnel who were forced to redirect passengers. 

Shocking photos shared on social media show large shards of glass and dust on the floor. 

According to Ultima Hora's report several people were using the vending machines when the ceiling collapsed.
