140 Guests in the USA Celebrate a Wedding - Then the Floor Collapses - Wedding Venue Floor Collapse Injures Six in New Hampshire

A wooden floor at a wedding venue in Tamworth, New Hampshire, collapsed during a ceremony on Saturday. The incident left six people injured, though none suffered life-threatening wounds. Around 140 guests were inside the building when the floor gave way just after 4 p.m.

The collapse created a large hole, roughly 20 by 20 feet, causing nearly 70 people to fall into the basement below. Emergency services quickly responded, transporting six individuals to nearby hospitals. Four of them were treated and released shortly after arrival.

Initial reports point to overcrowding as a possible cause of the collapse. Investigations into structural failures of this kind typically take three to six months for preliminary findings. A full official report from authorities like OSHA or local engineers may take up to 12 to 18 months to confirm the exact cause.

The incident has left six people with injuries, though all were non-life-threatening. Authorities will now examine the site to determine why the floor failed. The results of their investigation may take many months to complete.
