Roof of Landmark Mall in Qatar collapse
People shopping at the Landmark Mall started panicking after a section of the ceiling collapsed at the atrium in front of the food court last evening.
The corridor, with an artificial roof with a drawing of the sky, leads to the food court, cinemas and children's play area making it the busiest spot. The area is also located near three popular cafes at the shopping mall.

In April 2013, part of the roof of a popular ice cream parlour collapsed at Landmark shopping mall. No one was injured.

Aziz, Where else can one spend & watse money if not on eating & drinking ? ................................
Honestly many people will have diabetes and obesity or hypertension if they eat what they eat at the food court.
They just don't have a choice.
Whatever happens, people will never be scared to go to malls.
