Churubusco High School Students Fall Through Collapsed Deck While Taking Prom Photos (VIDEO)

Porch Collapse

Waaaaaahahaa -- or, ehem, thank goodness nobody was hurt!

A pre-prom photo shoot for twelve students from Churubusco High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., took a turn for the worse when the balcony they were posing on suddenly collapsed from under them -- sending the group plummeting toward the ground, WANE-TV reports.

"We were waiting on our friend, she was running late, so we were waiting for the 13th person, and as we were all waiting up there, we saw her come, she went actually under the balcony first," student Tori Harris told the station. "And then as she was coming around the corner, we heard a really loud crack and then we basically all fell through."

Luckily, save for a few scrapes and bruises, everyone walked away unscathed.

"I wasn't sure if I was supposed to laugh or not," Harris told the "TODAY" show. "I didn't know if anyone was hurt and I kind of expected them to be."

This isn't the only prom photo fiasco to get national attention. Last week, a group of Wisconsin high schoolers were posing on a pier when it collapsed, sending them plunging into the lake below .

Much like the most recent incident, no one was seriously injured.

EVERY year, during Prom season, we see this very same story and tale! It's getting very old and boring. DUH!

Such nice kids. No cursing the entire time, and a really positive attitude. Republicans, for sure.

Injecting politics into matters that have nothing to do with politics. Republican for sure.

"sending the group plummeting toward the ground" seemed more like "allowing the laughing students to gently slide down a 6-foot ramp" to me. I can't believe the shriek from the lady near the cameraman. After all the other collapsing-flooring-while-taking-prom-pictures articles this year, you'd think people would be used to this.

Not even commenting on the quality of the video. What a waste of battery power.

The funny thing about all these collapse videos: I was REALLY expecting the kids to be big, fat, cornfed kids. Most of them were pretty average. That part was good to see. There are way too many obese kids in this country.

Glad everyone was okay.

Excelsior.

Good thing they caught this on camera. Buahaha. Leave it to this lady to ruin the video.

The cameraman needs to keep his day job. What was the point of this story with no footage?
