At least 1 person was reported to be in theatre undergoing surgery. The collapse occurred at around 12:40 at the Jurys Inn hotel development in Milton Keynes. By 15:00 Sky were still without pictures as BBC 24 brought viewers both still and live shots from the scene. A police officer from Thames Valley police was unable to provide any fresh details nor was he able to state if there were any fatalities. By 15:12 Sky News had managed to bring live pictures from their Skycopter with a few camera-phone images provided by viewers. Darren Little, Sky’s correspondent, was able to provide on the spot coverage a short time later, but was himself unable to provide any fresh information. Sky quoted a witness as describing the scene a being “like a disaster movie”
