I wonder if they even HAVE a Physics Department anymore at UCB.
Sometimes a basic understanding of structures will save your life.

Looking at the size of that terrace, I would think it could hold 2 people comfortably/safely. Were all 13 people on it or were some of the injured on the ground or on the terrace(s) below?

Take a look at SFGate's photos of the balcony. Rotted wood from water intrusion? Many Bay Area buildings constructed in the last 20 years are of shoddy quality, often requiring extensive retrofits to fix the defects.

“Progressives” live in a fantasy world devoid of facts, logic and apparently the laws of physics. Perhaps because the structure “looked” and “felt” right they went ahead and built it without doing the structural analysis and calculations.

Wow 13 people on THAT balcony, that is hard to imagine in such a small space, looks about 6x4 foot?
