This is Not made up:
[Balcony In Collapse Tragedy Was 'Decorative' The structure was not designed for practical use it emerges, as investigators examine rotten beams as a cause for the collapse.] http://news.sky.com/story/1504289/ba...was-decorative Last edited by arista; 18-06-2015 at 11:45 AM. |

You bet means you're guessing which is making stuff up. That article doesn't mention anything about a sign

He does that when you prove him wrong. Also he won't admit he's wrong.
Anyone can clearly see this was a tragic accident, don't see why people are trying to blame people.

I agree... what is to be gained by blaming the victims... they are already reaping the consequences of their actions... The only thing to be gained now is an inspection of the other balconies on the building to ensure to other tragedies don't happen. It's not like this type of thing happens everyday.

Its on USA Live News, those students would have known they must not Jump and Dance on that structure. Yes its Tragic but it appears their own fault The Police were on the way to that building due to so many complaining about the Noise but they then got a Urgent Gun Fire call (had to divert) so they were not able to get there before the Tragic Events.

Truly tragic.
Those poor young people just starting out in life really, their families and friends must be bereft. As to the strength of the balcony, it should be of safe construction and hopefully the rest will be tested to see if they pass muster, if not then heads should roll. |

Yes it was death by misadventure probably
as I said a combination of too many people jumping on a balcony that was, it seems, poorly constructed. There must have been a sign up inside that said "no more than 5 people on the balcony please" or some such thing? --------------------------------------------- Adult Balcony Safety Adults will (hopefully) not try to stick their heads through balusters or try to climb over balcony barriers, however, balconies can still pose problems to adults. Weight limits, structural issues, and steps should all be considered in keeping adult guests safe. The following tips can help ensure guest safety: Inspect your balcony every year for structural problems, including but not limited to termites, corroded metals, and wet rot Post any weight limits and watch that your guests comply If there is a step down or narrow stairs leading from the balcony, post signs of any dangers and warn your guests Balconies can be very pleasant parts of your home or business. Ensuring the safety of children and adults can help you keep your guests safe and happy on your extended outdoor living space. http://www.safetyrisk.net/balcony-safety-3/ |
