Berkeley tragedy: Outpouring of support for ‘inspirational’ survivor

Clodagh Cogley, one of the survivors of the Berkeley balcony collapse, has received an outpouring of public support following her inspiring words about the tragedy which killed six students, injured seven, and left her unable to walk.

On her Facebook page, the 21-year-old revealed she intends to honour those who died by “living the happiest and most fulfilling life possible”.

“The fall from the balcony left me with two collapsed lungs, a broken shoulder, a broken knee, five broken ribs and a broken spinal cord,” she wrote.
