Reba McEntire Rescued From Crumbling Oklahoma Building

(Atoka, OK) — Reba McEntire’s low-key visit to her native Oklahoma became front page news when she had to be rescued from a collapsing building. McEntire and six other people were touring a more than 100-year-old building in downtown Atoka when the staircase collapsed Tuesday afternoon. The country star and several people in her group were on the second floor when the staircase fell apart, trapping the group. The local fire department helped the group climb out of the building on a ladder, and McEntire was said to be just fine. One person did sustain minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital. An official says the staircase likely collapsed because of ongoing renovations to the historic building. The details are unclear, but the singer was reportedly touring the building for a future project.
