Up to 15 people were injured when a stage lighting truss collapsed during a packed DJ set in Argentina.
Shocking footage shows the moment screams rang out as the falling metal structure came crashing down onto revellers beneath it.
The British DJ – reportedly Londoner Max Dean – had his back to the crowd and appeared to carry on performing, seemingly unaware of what had happened behind him.

The horror unfolded at around 5am on Sunday (1 Mar) at the Archi Club nightclub in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The collapse, said to have occurred in the VIP area, sparked panic among the roughly 700 partygoers inside.
Ten ambulances raced to the scene, while firefighters and police evacuated the venue, which has a maximum capacity of 500.
Six of the injured, aged between 25 and 49, were taken to two hospitals, where they were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.
Fortunately, none were in a life-threatening condition and all have since been discharged, as reported by Need To Know.
Two women, aged 32 and 28, made their own way to a third hospital, where they were treated for multiple injuries before being released.
While initial reports put the number of injured at nine, some later accounts suggest as many as 15 may have been hurt.
The riverside venue has since been shut down and authorities have launched an investigation.
Local media report that the lighting truss had been installed just hours before the event.
