I wonder if this is related to the obesity epidemic?

Let me guess, too many overweight slobs on the balcony.

Writer almost sounds disappointed, like 15 would have been a record or something.

“closure of PCH” ????
The “authorities” are such party-poopers.

Much more likely that it was Global Warming which prematurely aged the structure.

Why is the Reporterette wearing a Mask while standing outside across the Street from the House?
I’m sure the moisture and Sea air took a toll on the old wooden support structure of that Deck.

Not having been in Malibu for quite some years, I’d forgotten the PCH acronym.

From the video, it looks like the deck was just above the shoreline. I wouldn’t be surprised if salt spray dissolved the joist hangers. Unless the used stainless steel hangers and nails, the salt air will corrode them.

Likely poor bracketry and fastener deployment/selection too.

This may be another (mis) adventure in Airbnd.
I’ll never understand people who will rent their property to perfect strangers, then get ‘outraged’ when they leave a mess or break some rules.
To: digger48
Home owner will be having an unpleasant phone call with insurance company tomorrow And then a lawyer because I'm sure there will be lawsuits galore.

Those Houses have been there for years.
The outside shot of that Deck before the collapse make it look like it was original the House. The exterior upkeep for that House was lacking.
That Deck should have been able to support much more weight than those 15 Partygoers.
