55 hurt after floor of Florida building collapses
The crowded second floor of a Tallahassee, Florida, apartment building collapsed early Sunday - sending scores of people plummeting and, ultimately, 55 to area hospitals - city authorities said.
None of the injuries suffered in the collapse at the Seminole Grand Apartments are considered life-threatening, according to a release on the Tallahassee city government's website.
Witnesses reported an "unusually large crowd" in the two-story, wood frame building before the city fire department got a call at 1:27 a.m. about the collapse.
Using a ladder truck, firefighters rescued seven people after they became stuck in a second-story bedroom and could not access the stairwell, the city said. No one was trapped under the collapsed floor, and the first floor did not contain any apartments.
The building opened for occupancy in December 1995, according to the city. The cause of the collapse - which early estimates suggest caused $250,000 in damage - is under investigation.

Too many fat floridiots . .
OVERLOAD FAIL
too many people in one place. why no people limit? prayers for them.
can't enforce a people limit really, it's a private residence
Other than the birth of a child nothing good happens after midnight.
Wow, Alex, you live a dull life. How about homework, cleaning, wrapping Christmas presents, putting a basketball hoop together for a present. Making food for the next day?? Does that qualify as good. Or is it bad cause it was done after midnight??
Do not feed them after midnight!
Must have been one heck of a party going on.....
America just got even fatter.
Too many overweight people
Seminole collapse...usually cured with a square blue pill ?
55 people from northern Florida should never be in a house since they will bring it down for sure. I travel to northern Florida and majority are obese. Big difference from further south cities like tampa or miami..........
chrissy....youre really desperate arent you, come on is that the best you have a silly comment about the presidency.
That candidate romney is responsible for a building collapse in florida ? , thats far from obvious, good to hear you know call the accident investigators and let them know.
How is that desperate? At every opportunity Obama is blamed for everything no point acting as if it doesnt happen. And if the best youve got is calling someone ignorant, im guessing youre the desperate one.
THAT is NOT what was said. Maybe you need to review the posts.
Built with pride in the United States of America! God bless these morons...
Romney is an IDIOT.
We can only hope that idiot doesn't get elected.
"let's make the rich richer and screw the rest of the country"
Nice work SCHMUCK and good luck. Obama will destroy you in the polls...
