The reigning Miss World managed to walk out unharmed but Morley suffered fractures and had to be taken by ambulance to Miami for more than 5 hours of operation, Miss World website said.

The floor of the temporary building collapsed when around 20 children rushed toward Young when they saw her in her crown.

“Julia and one of the children, Jonathan, suffered fractures after falling through the floor, landing 8 to 10 feet below, being hit by the debris from above. Miraculously all the other children and Miss World Megan Young escaped either unhurt or with just cuts and bruises,” the website states.

As of this posting, Morley and Jonathan are safe. Morley just needed some rest and therapy. Young on the other hand is now back in the US with her family.

MWO quoted Young as saying, “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.”

“Nothing like that has really happened to me before. It was such a shock. I felt like a deer in the headlights. I didn’t really know what had happened or what to do. We had all fallen down, but I was still on my feet. I had the crown in one hand and the other hand instinctively holding up one of the decks in place with two people. There were lots of kids under the decks still and we just instinctively held on. it was such a scary situation for me. it makes you realise there is so much more that should be done for these kids. it’s not the only orphanage out here in Port au Prince, and I am sure others are in a similar state.”
