A Balcony Collapse in Ohio Leaves 10 Hurt

A balcony gave way in Cincinnati, Ohio, sending 10 people to the hospital. The incident took place at an apartment complex close to the University of Cincinnati. Authorities say the balcony, measuring 8 feet by 12 feet, couldn't handle the weight of so many people. It plummeted 20 feet to the ground. One person is in serious condition, while the others have injuries that aren't life-threatening. The injured were rushed to different hospitals in the area. Some might have gone to the hospital on their own. The University of Cincinnati is stepping in to help students who were affected by the collapse. Fortunately, no other parts of the apartment complex were damaged. This event raises questions about safety standards and the importance of adhering to weight limits on balconies. It's a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong when such limits are ignored.
