This video has been circulating on the blogs (iSquint and Theatre Safety Blog). It's a video of the balcony of the Fox St. Louis bouncing violently during a Phish concert.

Apparently, form the YouTube videos, the same thing happens at the Fox Theatre Detroit.

I've never heard about this till now. How normal is this? Is it "bad" persay? Can these structures handle this pressure? How long till we open the daily electronic newspaper only to see "theatre balcony collapse kills hundreds"?
