One of the university students injured in a dramatic accident in the heart of Jakarta's financial district remembers screaming for help as she lay injured on the floor of the Indonesia Stock Exchange building. MetroTV footage showed the lobby strewn with debris and people being helped out of the building while others lay on the grass or steps outside the tower. At least 77 people were taken to local hospitals after a hallway between two buildings suddenly gave way, according to Argo Yuwono, senior commissioner for Jakarta police department. A spokeswoman for Jakarta's Siloam Hospital said it had received 28 victims from the exchange, and the seriousness of their injuries was still being assessed. Megha Kapoor, who works in the building and was in the lobby at the time, said: "Slabs of concrete started to fall, there was lots of dust. The building is part of a two-tower complex which was the target of a suicide bombing by Islamist militants in September 2000, but police ruled out a bomb as a cause of Monday's collapse.
