From the
Daily News:
A gathering in Brooklyn turned into a nightmare as a deck on the second floor of a building collapsed, injuring 13 people early Sunday, witnesses and FDNY officials said.
The collapse happened at a building at Bushwick and Willoughby Aves. in Bushwick around 12:45 a.m., an FDNY official said.
None of the injured was seriously hurt.
As many as 50 people were on the deck when it buckled, the official said.
A Department of Buildings official was on the scene to inspect the deck. It was unclear why it fell in, officials said.
Maybe because it had 50 people on it?

That building is the old Bossert mansion built by lumber tycoon Louis Bossert back in the late 1800's.
He also built the Bossert Hotel in downtown Brooklyn which was the classiest hotel in Brooklyn and where the Dodgers celebrated their only World Series Championship in 1955.
Lol! Two words to explain deck failure, "weekend worrier "
Some people just shouldn't built anything.
Let this be a warning to all these lux developers and realtors when they want to gouge an extra thousand to renters yearning for rooftop parties, gardens and balconies.
look at those fucking hipsters ha ha
Idiots!
Hipster Dip Shits ! America's dumbest generation to date.
"That building is the old Bossert mansion..."
Nope. It's the old Lipsius/Cook mansion. Lipsius was a brewer and Cook claimed to be the first man to climb Mt. McKinley and the first to reach the North Pole.
Bossert's mansion is located further down Bushwick Ave. at Grove street.
Plenty of decks are large enough and study enough to hold 50 people.
This one wasn't that wide or long.
The house was said to be haunted.
Probably by the ghosts of The Daughter's of Wisdom Sisters who used to own the joint.
Hell hath no fury like a nun scorned.
Especially when a party is happening.
Darwinism?
Karma?
Both?
You decide...
You know, I am a bit non-plussed as that press monkey that the daily news sent to write that story and how he or she was confused that 50 scrawny hipshit would cause that deck to collapse, meaning that how can someone who works in journalism and for a major local paper can be that clueless.
I'm going to hypothesize that it wasn't the first time there was patio rave there. And I will also hypothesize that 80% of those revelers actually crash or maybe live full time with the renters there. Hopefully these aren't polyamorous types, but there is already an affordable luxury housing building devoted to them,

0:53: The smiling dude with the cap. Hipster role straight out of central casting.
50 People? Those weren't people those were hipsters and come from the shallow end of the gene pool...
Same shit happened a couple years back in Chicago-- killing several. Hipsters move in and build decks and shit 30 feet in the air, then are shocked that it can't support 20 people. I'm just further shocked that there remain mansions in Bushwick!
Why was NBC trying to lessen the seriousness of the story? the last 30 seconds after that mouthbreathing hipshit (wow, can you be any more of an undignified stereotype, this is what the city and Rebny thinks should be populating the city) was interviewed the reporter kept repeating that nobody was hurt.
And 1:30 for a news segment, these people need to work harder. But we do have to be reminded every 5 minutes that it's sunny out.
These hipshits are starting to give the feeling of a plague - only want to associate with themselves, care nothing except their stupid pets and their lame comedy, empty vacuous talk about stupid shit like obscure food.
A bunch of losers that sooner or later will grow up and put on their big-boy pants. Life has a funny way of intruding losers.
This may be late, but it was mentioned in that story that there were "conversions" in that house. I wonder if these are the types that get mentioned here involving alterations or subdivisions in regular one, two or three family houses.
