“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.”

They won’t learn.

Apartment complex. I’m guessing cheap modern construction with 24” on-center spacing of floor joists. That and/or engineered I-joists instead of traditional solid wood joists.

The injuries are bad enough, I’m sure. But I hope no one was downstairs.

“Adams, who also attended the party, said he felt the floor going up and down like a trampoline as people jumped around to the music. He told his friends they needed to go on the balcony but the floor cracked before they could get out of the way. Adams didn’t fall.”

This is what alcohol and group think in combination can lead to.

If they were playing chess, studying, or plotting to resist their Marxist indoctrination....this wouldn’t have happened.

Have you seen millennials dance?

They literally jump up and down in unison. I kid you not.

It's why we keep seeing these stories.

Something similar happened in Israel, back in 2001: Versailles wedding hall disaster. 23 dead, 380 injured.

Suppose there were any engineering students in attendance? If so may be time to pick new major

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.

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.

I have two rules when I attend a crowded party.

1. No standing on crowded balconies.

2. Avoid crowded floors that aren’t over concrete; especially when people are shoulder to shoulder and jumping up and down.

Nothing may happen, but there is danger; especially on balconies of tall buildings.
