ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Almost 1,600 people gathered at an Abbotsford, B.C., Bible college Sunday to pray for those injured when the floor in their own church hall collapsed during a Christian rock concert Friday.
School pastor Colin Ashton says it's a miracle the collapse at Central Heights Church didn't harm more people.
He says the outpouring of support for the victims and the church has been uplifting.
The crowd was rocking when Felicia Daase looked on in horror as her friends plunged "like an elevator" through the floor of the auditorium.
A mostly teenage audience of about 1,000 had gathered to watch a popular Christian rock band, when people were sent falling several metres into the basement below.
The church is now secured by police as they investigate what caused the collapse.
