balcony. lilian kim is live in berkeley with the latest on this tragedy. lilian? >> dan the balcony has been removed, but the area is still blocked off. this is where people have been leaving candles and flowers. a growing memorial to the 13 men and women who suffered a horrific fall. ireland's consul general and berkeley's mayor laid down two wreaths in honor of the students. they called it the most difficult day. >> there is a greater tragedy than we experienced here last evening. >> 9-1-1 emergency. >> we are on kittering street and a balance con fee just collapsed! >> 13 people were on this balcony for a 21st birthday party. suddenly it gave way after midnight. they fell 50 feet to the sidewalk. >> i saw a lot of bodies, 12. too much to count.

until the stress is too much and it flips. >> that explains why the balcony landed upside down on the deck below throwing the victims on to the sidewalk. at the news conference building officials say the project fell under the 1998 guidelines of 60 pounds per square foot. this deck should have easily held all of those young people at the party. >> i consider 14 people at an average of run -- 150 pounds well within the design load for which they were designed at the time. >> dry rot was responsible for a deck collapse in san francisco during a cocktail party in 1996. one woman lost her life and 14 others were injured. i will watch out for the documents and let you know what they reveal. i want to talk to the construction company about their work. this building is not that old and finished eight yeast ago.
