CHICAGO (Reuters) - A balcony crammed with party-goers collapsed early on
Sunday, sending bodies and splintered wood plummeting three stories into a
tangled mass that killed 12 and injured dozens, authorities said.
"There was chaos. People were screaming and crying in the alley," Chicago
Fire Commissioner James Joyce said.
Some witnesses reported hearing a creaking sound as the overloaded top floor
of the wooden structure gave way, crushing people on lower floors and
trapping them at the basement level. Others were left dangling from the
ruined structure.
"It just happened. I was in shock," said one woman leaving a hospital who
gave her name as Angie Desai. She said there was no warning before she and
others dropped from the top floor and was dragged to safety by a friend.
It's sad!
Watching it now!
That's happens quite often here.
