WITNESSES have spoken of their terror as they watched a beach bar in Majorca collapse into the street as if a "bomb" had exploded, killing four.
Grisly footage reveals the immediate aftermath as customers, workers and locals cry and scream and a body lies next to rubble on the street.
The terrace of the Medusa Beach Club in Playa de Palma caved in at around 8.30pm on Thursday night as police rushed to the scene.
Local resident Javier told Ultima Hora the collapse sounded like "like a bomb" as he watched the terrifying events unfold.
Officials have revealed that two female German tourists, aged 20 and 30, a Senegalese man, 44, and a fourth female victim, 23, were killed.

Seven people are in critical condition and nine people are seriously injured after what cops say was likely caused by an overload of people on the first floor.
Some 100 rescue workers ploughed on through the night to search for anyone trapped beneath the rubble in what they described as a "nightmarish" scene.
In one video, police can be heard telling crowds that had gathered at the scene to be quiet so they can try and hear the sounds of victims trapped underneath the rubble.
There were screams, wailing and crying
Aranda, a witness
Santiago Aranda, who was walking his dog at the time of the collapse, told La Linterna: "I don't have words to describe it.
"It was an explosion, and we were in the street opposite...some ran in the opposite direction and others towards the dust".
Raul, an employee from the shop next door, told CadenaSER: "Everything fell, completely. It was very loud and there were a lot of people inside.
Aranda, who was with his wife at the time, said he stayed to help "get people out" amid "screams, wailing and crying".
Abdoulaye Diop, 44, a Senegalese migrant living in Majorca, was the first of those who died last night to have been named.
Just one day before the floor caved in, the popular night spot unveiled a new terrace bar.

It posted a picture of the renovation on Instagram, with the caption: "Totally different, New rooftop."
Palma’s Deputy Mayor Javier Bonet said this morning: “We can now rule out the possibility there could be more victims.
“This morning around 2.30am firefighters finished the job of clearing all the rubble and concluded the rescue operation."
Three days of mourning have now been declared for the victims.
The exact cause of the collapse remains unknown.
However, locals have expressed their fury at the decay that was allowed to occur to the properties on the waterfront including the club.
Lourdes, who has lived in Playa de Palma for 40 years, told Ultimate Hora: "You could see it coming, the decline that the area has suffered is incredible."
