Since 2003
On June 29, 2003, an overloaded balcony collapsed during a party in a Chicago, Illinois, apartment building, killing thirteen people and seriously injuring fifty-seven others. It was the deadliest porch collapse in American history.
The ensuing investigation was highly critical of the way the balcony was built, finding a large number of errors in its construction which ultimately resulted in the collapse.
