Damn.  That qualifies as a SHTF situation in my book.  Big-time.  There was another wedding collapse in Oregon in 1999 on a big deck.  Same thing: wedding reception, a lot of people on a supported structure.  The deck's supports gave way and the whole deck folded like a door hinge, dumping everyone straight down.

I was watching the footage on fox news today. That is some f'ed up stuff.  All just dancing and the floor sunk about a foot then just dropped.  I believe it is 23 people dead and counting.  That sucks.

Check out the 2nd camera in the crowd with a light on, you can clearly see it fall into the hole.  What a video that will be :(
