Terribly sad. I've never trusted balconies - despite the clear evidence of their integrity.

The story has been updated a couple of times on the BBC News site - and I wouldn't expect that site to be the swiftest to get to the bottom of it. They now state the furniture was being hauled onto an upper storey by ropes (presumably attached to a balcony and/or its railings). Somehow this collapsed with objects falling onto persons below injuring at least eight in the process.
Genuine, respectful and non-facetious question; does one purchasing suitable furniture in this rather exclusive part of the world expect half a dozen or so delivery men? That's a step up from Argos or DFS. I appreciate not all of the injured eight may have been delivery persons but to have hurt at least that many is remarkable.
A terrible day for some.
