Shocking videos capture at least a hundred teenagers falling across the floor at a massive home party in a Denver suburb Colorado during the weekend.
Three people were taken to hospital, one with serious injuries after the floor collapsed in the basement under the weight of more than 100 partygoers, authorities said.
The South Metro Fire and Rescue Service (SMFR) said crews responded to the house southeast of Aurora around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
“Part of the first floor collapsed in the basement because of a big party with 100-150 minors inside,” the SMFR said.
A video from the party shows the teenagers dancing and jumping up and down, until the floor finally gives way below them in a brutal accident.

This was announced by the Arapaho County Sheriff’s Office KUSA that the owners had organized the birthday of their 18-year-old grandson at the time of the collapse.
It is unclear whether they were home at the time.
Two of the partygoers, who were among the teenagers who fell across the floor, said they found out about the party because the home’s address was shared on social media.
Cass Henry, 15, and his brother AJ Henry, 17, told KUSA that the party quickly spiraled out of control.
“I think it just spread a little bit, so everyone thought it was just an open day,” Cass said. “People just started showing up.”
Cass went to the hospital with a broken ankle.
“Two seconds before the ground broke, you could hear everything falling apart, but there wasn’t enough time to do anything about it,” Cass said.
The Southern Metro Fire and Rescue Service said the collapse caused a natural gas leak, but has since been stopped and the house is uninhabitable.
Authorities have not identified the homeowners or those taken to the hospital, but said it appeared to be a horrific incident and there is currently no criminal investigation.

“It’s amazing that no one was seriously injured or killed,” Scott Richardson, head of special operations for the SMFR, told KUSA.
Richardson added that he had never seen such a collapse in his career as this.
“It’s not the static weight we just stand on [the floor]but if people jump up and down and that creates what we call a ‘shock load’ on the floor, and then you can’t really predict what will happen, “he said.
