Amazing video footage shows the shocking moment that at least 100 teenagers fell from the ground of a house party held in Denver.
After the basement floor fell into it, three people were transported to the hospital. One of them had serious injuries.
South Metro Fire Rescue reported that they responded at 9:30 p.m. to the Aurora house southeast.
SMFR stated that a section of the first floor fell into the basement as a result of a large gathering with 100 to 150 youths.
The teens dance and jump up as they see the ground give way under them.
One floor of a Denver house collapsed in its basement after a party that featured 100 to 150 teenagers. A video of the party captures teens jumping and dancing as the floor collapses beneath them.
Amazing video footage shows the shocking moment that at least 100 teens tumbled through the floor during a house party held in Denver, Colorado. The basement floor fell into its basement due to the excess weight of 100 partygoers. Three were taken to the hospital with severe injuries.
Two teens from the party who fell through the flooring were two of those who said that they learned about it because the address was shared online.
Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office told KUSA that the homeowners were hosting a birthday party for their 18-year-old grandson at the time of the collapse.
It’s not known if the couple were at home at that time.
According to two partygoers, who were part of the teenagers who fell from the dance floor, they learned about the party through social media.
Cass Henry (age 15) and his brother AJ Henry (age 17), told KUSA that things quickly spiraled out of control.
Cass explained that she thinks it got leaked so everybody thought it was an open-house. “People just started showing up.”
Cass was admitted to the hospital with a fractured ankle.
Cass stated that two seconds prior to the ground breaking, one could hear everything snapping together, but there wasn’t enough time for anyone to fix it.
South Metro Fire Rescue stated that the collapse was caused by a natural gas leak. However, it has been turned off since then and the house is currently not safe for occupancy.
Although authorities have yet to identify the victims or the people who were taken to hospital, they said that it was a terrible accident. There is currently no criminal investigation.
South Metro Fire Rescue claimed that the collapse resulted from a natural-gas leak. It has since been switched off, and the home is no longer safe to live in.
Scott Richardson of SMFR’s special operations chief, stated to KUSA that it was amazing no one was killed or seriously injured.
Richardson said that this was the first time he had ever seen a floor fall in his entire career.
“It’s not about the static weight of just standing on” [the floor]However, if there are people who jump up and down and it creates what we refer to as a “shockload” on the floor and you cannot really predict what’s coming,’ he stated.
