(29 Oct 2015) The president of Ireland met with Berkeley's mayor, public safety workers, health care providers and area residents on Wednesday to thank them for helping when a balcony snapped off an apartment building, killing six college students and injuring seven others.
President Michael Higgins said the balcony collapse that happened during a birthday party on June 16 was a tragedy that has affected many people.
Five of the young people who died were from Ireland and working in the San Francisco Bay area for the summer.
Five Irish students, all 21 years old, and the 22-year-old Irish-American cousin of one of them died after the balcony gave way, tossing them and another seven young people celebrating at the party 50 feet down to the street below.
A city investigation revealed that the wooden beams supporting the structure were rotted through from water damage.
