As a crowded group of Clemson University students and local residents danced and jumped around at an apartment clubhouse late Saturday night, Jeremy Tester felt something strange beneath his feet.
"You could hear the floor about to go through, kind of," he said, "but nobody thought it was going to happen. They just kept going." But suddenly the floor gave way. Dozens of partiers dropped into free fall and landed in a mass of sprawling bodies in the basement. Police said 30 people were injured when the floor of the apartment clubhouse collapsed during a party on homecoming weekend in Clemson, South Carolina.

They literally jump up and down in unison. I kid you not.
It's why we keep seeing these stories.
It is Clemson.
Or, a room full of kids jumping up and down in unison. It's what millennials call 'dancing'.

Clemson ain’t cheap. That’s why I say more yutes than students.
Oh, no. University kids packed like sardines and dancing weigh nothing. It’s cheapskate builders and developers taking advantage of poor Clemson partyers that’s to blame. Yeah, that’s the ticket. /s
Suppose there were any engineering students in attendance? If so may be time to pick new major
Plenty of alcohol, and plenty of group, but I doubt there was much think going on.
I’m guessing half of them felt the floor bouncing, so they jumped harder.
Again, my comment from the earlier thread:
Jam a building full of people, and get them jumping in time with the music, and the forces on the structure are significant. Add in some substandard construction, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
It’s not a party until somebody calls the cops.
“Plenty of alcohol, and plenty of group, but I doubt there was much think going on.”
I agree. I was just using the term ‘group think’ to refer to that mindless state when a group of people are just automatons moving rhythmically with the beat. I avoid those situations like the plague.
“Suppose there were any engineering students in attendance?”
They probably were never invited because theyre the nerdy, smart kids. The ones that were invited were most likely studying ‘gender bias in “womyn’s” studies.’
A picture of what is coming (after a few decades, IMO) after the saints are taken out of this world.
It will be so astonishingly horrific that they won’t believe it is happening even while is happens.
Wonder if Jon weighed in at the party.
Or just way too much load then it was designed for.

The smell of LAWSUIT LOTTERY JACKPOT is in the air to the local plaintiff’s ambulance chasers.
I hate Dancing and look it’s dangerous for your health
