Large section of ceiling falls into Hong Kong estate's indoor pool

A large section of ceiling material collapsed into the indoor swimming pool at Lake Silver estate in Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, on Saturday. Fortunately, no one was injured as the pool was closed at the time. The facility has been shut down for a detailed inspection.

The Lake Silver Customer Service Centre issued a notice to residents, stating it had been informed by the clubhouse contractor that “material” had fallen from the ceiling of the indoor pool. Images show a large piece of debris partially submerged in the pool water. A resident said the pool was closed at the time of the roof collapse. The notice indicated the incident occurred on Saturday.

“Fortunately, no one was injured, and the indoor swimming pool is currently closed for a detailed inspection,” the customer service centre said. “[The] customer service centre and the owners’ committee are very concerned about this incident.”

The estate is located in Ma On Shan, and authorities are investigating the cause to ensure resident safety.
