6 died after falling from a balcony at a 21st birthday party.

The were all students over for the summer. Very tragic, I can't even imagine how the parents feel travelling over.

Some articles are starting to appear pointing the blame towards the students, it's absolutely ridiculous. I'm certain they were a rowdy pain in the arse but the timber holding the balcony up was rotten, it probably would have given way with 5 people eventually so why even raise the issue of their behaviour and the amount that were on the balcony?

Residents here said that apartments were often crammed with students trying to hold down living costs, and that people typically went out to the balcony to smoke.

The police said they received a noise complaint from the building just past midnight, one of about six that came in from various locations around that time. A few minutes later, the police received a string of reports of gunshots fired in South Berkeley, which took priority over attending to the noise complaints.
