Now if Mike Holmes had seen that deck before it fell, I bet he would have gotten them all off of it and had it rebuilt before the party was over. I’m guessing nails to hold it up instead of screws.
A deck built to code, at least where we live, should hold 40 lb per square foot. If it was a 400 square foot deck, as other news reports suggest, there’s no way 20 people weighed enough to pull the thing down. Dont judge until you know the facts.

Idiots. Decks on private residences aren’t designed to support 20 adults.
