PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.
UPDATE NOON TUESDAY: The collapse of an icy display that injured three at the Titanic Museum attraction in Pigeon Forge appears to be an accident, according to the Pigeon Forge Police Department.
Authorities were called about 8 p.m. Monday to the scene on the Parkway. Officers arrived to find that a wall of ice display fell and injured several visitors, according to an update Tuesday from the Police Department.
The wall is located on the Promenade Deck, meant to give an example of the bitter nighttime conditions on the night the ship sank. Patrons can touch a large wall of ice.
