Miss World Megan Young involved in Haiti Orphanage collapse during her visit in Haiti on October 31, 2013. Miss World 2013 Megan Young did not affected by the collapse as she managed to land her feet and hold on the Miss World crown when she fell. But Miss World chair Julia Morley wasn't so lucky, she got injured during her fell.
According to the Miss World website, 20 children on the second floor of the orphanage rushed to greet Megan when they saw her and caused the building to collapse. Megan was unharmed, but Julia Morley and one of the children, Jonathan, were hurt after falling through the second floor and landing 10 feet below and being hit by debris.
"However, Julia was in agony after the fall. It was impossible to move her from the building without a stretcher and we had to wait for a few hours for medical help. Finally a temporary ambulance transferred Julia and Jonathan to a local Medishare hospital. X-Rays revealed that Julia had suffered a significant fracture high in her hip area and that Jonathan had suffered a leg fracture. The doctors repaired Jonathan’s leg fracture but felt that it was too risky to treat Julia's injuries at the local hospital."
"We went into the orphanage hoping for a good day. I was happy that day and the children we were with seemed so full of energy and joy. We get onto this second floor platform, and we aren't even there for a minute and we hear a crack and everybody falls through," says Megan.
