read the article and look at picture

I do not believe it is too wise to attempt to cram that many people on such a small-ass deck. In fact anyone with half a brain would know better, apparently these people were students from the athletic or political science departments.

If the deck collapsed, killing you, would you like people saying "Owned, damn fucktard"

Unless these people could see through walls (wallhacks), they would not be able to see all those people above them. So think before you speak
1. I understood form the original article that both floors were part of a large party
2. you don't need a wallhack to tell that there is a herd of elephants overhead

...yes, that's why at funerals, the friends and family of the deceased generally
tend to outnumber the people who have never even heard of the deceased... oOo:

I just saw an article that said the porch was struturally sound and built in 1998. Just too many people.

Incredibly ASININE to yell "owned" at a couple of partying kids crushed like that. Absolutely the height and epitome of ignorance. I dont know about any of you, but on my porch - on the third floor - there is no warning level detailing the stability and weight limits of the concrete porch.
