A tragic walkway collapse at the Blue Sail housing complex in Scampia, Naples, resulted in the deaths of two individuals, Roberto Abbruzzo, 29, and Margherita della Ragione, 35, while injuring 13 others, including seven children. The incident occurred on Monday night when a third-floor metal and concrete walkway disintegrated, leading to cries for help from residents.

The Blue Sail complex, part of a larger redevelopment project, has been plagued by neglect and illegal utilities over the years, with multiple buildings already demolished in recent years.
