Multiple Students Injured When Roof Collapses During St. Patrick’s Day Party at U. Pittsburgh
“Everyone was having fun, and then no one was having fun.”
A bunch of students were sitting on the roof of a patio when it gave way. There’s a video below.
The New York Post reports:
At least 16 injured when roof collapses at massive Pitt party: ‘Happened in the blink of an eye’
At least 16 people were injured when a roof collapsed “in the blink of an eye” during a massive bash near the University of Pittsburgh Friday, according to harrowing video and reports.
Footage circulating on social media shows the moment several green-clad revelers packed on an awning plummet when it crumples under their feet — and on top of even more partiers on the porch below.
One person standing under the collapsed roof made it out uninjured and lamented about the harsh end to the festivities.
“It just fell,” Carlton Gbur told CBS, adding, “Everyone was having fun, and then no one was having fun.”
Sixteen students were taken to area hospitals suffering from a range of injuries, with three in serious condition, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

A student of Dickens, or Hemingway… but sadly not a student of Bob Vila.
So, they really did “bring the house down.”
Not engineering students I’m guessing
