Not a good idea to have a hungry hungry hippos party on a non ground floor!

Jam a building full of people, and get them jumping in time with the music, and the forces on the structure are significant. Add in some substandard construction, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

Depending upon the locality, many meeting / party places have a placard from the local fire marshal, stating the maximum number of people for the facility. It is there for this very reason as well as for evacuation purposes. Human nature being what it is, people will ignore this unless there is someone in charge and willing to get tough.

Happened recently in Texas. Hundreds of “youths” were packed into an upstairs apartment, loud music and dancing. The tenants below them complained, left the apartment and I think were going to the police when the entire floor collapsed. If the tenants (a couple of young girls, I think) had been home, they would have been killed.

Lol.Okay, you do that. I use my prayers on more important things.

A bunch of wild ass people dancing/stomping around in a small apt party causing a floor to collapse is not prayer worthy imo

They say, it’s not a real party until something gets broken.

So far, there is no life-threatening injuries being reported.

Probably used the same construction company that constructed this sentence.

Party only on the ground floor.
