A bunch of folks drinking, trying to have fun at a house party cramming onto a tiny balcony causing it to collapse… My condolences to their families. :'(
The pictures that I see show rotted joist protruding from the building. Apparently they incased the framing, with some type of material which caused it to hold moisture even treated lumber can rot with no ventilation. At a Glance it doesn't look like it's treated lumber. In time, this deck would have fell with 4 people on it. Running the deck boards at a 45 angle also strengthens the entire deck, but you see that takes more time and there's also more waste.
when i read this I had a dejavu felling well this happen in Australia in 2012 same day june 16 th that i did't know also why do balcony collapse on june 16 th is it bad luck to be on one that day

Their families will be distraught. If only they stayed in Ireland to study.
