That may have meant she got pinned down instead of being killed outright.“We’ve been told it took seven teachers and two prefects to lift the shelter off Lillie, so it really is astonishing that she survived.”One boy broke his foot after being hit by the shelter, which was meant to be bolted into the ground.
