At least 16 individuals were injured when a roof suddenly collapsed during a large party near the University of Pittsburgh on Friday. Disturbing video footage and reports describe the chaotic scene as a group of partygoers in green attire were standing on an awning that gave way, causing them to fall on top of others on the porch below. The incident left party attendees shocked and resulted in injuries to a total of 16 people.
Witnesses recounted the sudden collapse, with one person expressing disappointment over the unexpected turn of events. Emergency services responded to the scene, transporting the injured to nearby hospitals. Some suffered serious injuries, including concussions and limb injuries, while others received treatment for minor wounds on-site.
Eyewitnesses described the collapse as happening swiftly, giving them no time to react to the unfolding disaster. The gathering had attracted a large crowd, estimated to be around 500 individuals in the shared courtyard of several homes. Following the incident, the home was deemed safe, but the porch was declared unsafe for use.
