Reba McEntire rescued from historic building collapse in Oklahoma

Country star Reba McEntire was among the multiple persons who were rescued from a historic building in Oklahoma after a stairwell collapsed.

The superstar had been touring the historic building for a potential future project when the incident happened.

KXII reported that the stairwell between the second and third stories of the building collapsed and fell onto the stairway between the first and second stories.

The destruction effectively trapped all who were inside on whichever floor they were on at the time, and they couldn’t get out.

One of the seven other persons who were in the building, Coby Sherrill, recalled the incident, stating: “We were just touring the building and the stairwell was weak, but we did not realize how weak it was until several people had gone down it and then we heard the crash and saw the stairs fall.”

According to reports by News 12, McEntire and the other persons in the building had to be evacuated on a fire ladder from a second-story window on Tuesday.
