They danced and jumped to celebrate homecoming weekend. Then the floor gave way.

Have you seen millennials dance?

They literally jump up and down in unison. I kid you not.

It's why we keep seeing these stories.

Something similar happened in Israel, back in 2001: Versailles wedding hall disaster. 23 dead, 380 injured.

I’m guessing cheap modern construction with 24” on-center spacing of floor joists.

Or, a room full of kids jumping up and down in unison. It's what millennials call 'dancing'.

Clemson ain’t cheap. That’s why I say more yutes than students.

Oh, no. University kids packed like sardines and dancing weigh nothing. It’s cheapskate builders and developers taking advantage of poor Clemson partyers that’s to blame. Yeah, that’s the ticket. /s

Suppose there were any engineering students in attendance? If so may be time to pick new major

Plenty of alcohol, and plenty of group, but I doubt there was much think going on.
I’m guessing half of them felt the floor bouncing, so they jumped harder.

Again, my comment from the earlier thread:

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.

It’s not a party until somebody calls the cops.

“Plenty of alcohol, and plenty of group, but I doubt there was much think going on.”

I agree. I was just using the term ‘group think’ to refer to that mindless state when a group of people are just automatons moving rhythmically with the beat. I avoid those situations like the plague.

They probably were never invited because theyre the nerdy, smart kids. The ones that were invited were most likely studying ‘gender bias in “womyn’s” studies.’

A picture of what is coming (after a few decades, IMO) after the saints are taken out of this world.

It will be so astonishingly horrific that they won’t believe it is happening even while is happens.
