Foreign Office says UK nationals among 40 reportedly injured when floor gave way at the Butterfly club in the CanariesSeveral Britons are among the injured after the floor of a nightclub collapsed in Tenerife, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has confirmed. Forty people are reported to have been hurt in the incident at the packed Butterfly club in Adeje on the island in the Canaries at about 2.30am on Sunday. Revellers were sent tumbling into an empty basement after an area of floor about 4 metres by 4 metres gave way, according to reports. Another 18 people went to hospital by their own means to be treated, according to the mayor of Tenerife. The club had its licence in order and did not appear to be overcrowded when the floor caved in, the mayor of Tenerife said.
