Witnesses revealed that many gathered for a birthday party at the beachfront house with people on the balcony, but the occasion took an unexpected turn with the collapse.

Among the nine people injured, four were taken to the hospital, and reports showed no fatality. According to experts, the credibility of the building and the weight of the number of people on deck were likely factors to the collapse.
