Multiple students at the University of Pittsburgh were injured this weekend during a party when the roof of a porch collapsed. It appeared to be a St. Patrick’s Day celebration, judging by all the people wearing green.
A bunch of students were sitting on the roof but the structure clearly couldn’t handle their weight.
Some students were even hospitalized.

One person standing under the collapsed roof made it out uninjured and lamented about the harsh end to the festivities.
“It just fell,” Carlton Gbur told CBS, adding, “Everyone was having fun, and then no one was having fun.”
Sixteen students were taken to area hospitals suffering from a range of injuries, with three in serious condition, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
