Many concertgoers have experienced the sensation of music vibrating through the floor. However, witnessing a panic-inducing moment, as captured in this video, is a different matter.
Imagine the scene: a balcony filled with hundreds of people jolting up and down. I believe that such an experience from below could be equally unnerving
On Monday (May 6), American rapper Gunna performed at the Fox Theatre as part of his Bittersweet Tour. The concert saw attendees energetically jumping, causing the theater's balcony to bob up and down.
The video captured the moment of Gunna's performance, was shared on social media, and quickly went viral.
However, the video raised concerns instead of excitement.
The moment of capture made the concertgoers jump around, leading the theater balcony to flex, leaving viewers stunned.
A video from one of Gunna's concerts at the Fox Theatre in Detroit has gone viral.
A viral video was shared on social media, depicting the concerning moment during Gunna's concert at the Fox Theatre.
The video, shared by Gunna himself on his Instagram, garnered attention and sparked debate on social media.
The video has the caption:""Got Detroit ROCKIN. LITERALLY!".
The clip shows a theater balcony filled with people wobbling up and down, causing concern among viewers.
In the comment selection, viewers flooded online to share their thoughts, with comments ranging from excitement to concern.
One person said: Tbh it wasn't built during a time where people would jump in unison.
A second wrote: There is a bar like that in Pittsburgh..Jimmy Ds..the 2nd floor has been bouncing like that for 10 years..I'm so surprised it hasn't collapsed yet
While a third commented: Looked like there was about to be a house full of pain
Someone else said: It’s fine, you want this to flex, it be more worried if it didn’t
Another added: That’s normal. In the 70’s at a showaddywaddy concert we could feel the balcony bouncing. It’s still standing so guess it’s built to do it.
I thought I was going to die at a JoJo Siwa concert like five years ago from all the little girls that were jumping up and down. Someone said.
In response to the concerns, Fox Theatre stated that the movement seen at the concert is common and expected on free-standing balcony structures.
This capability is part of the balcony’s structural engineering design, and regular inspections are conducted to ensure the structure's safety.
The theatre, designed by architect Charles Howard Crane, has seen similar incidents in the past, such as during a 2010 concert by Joe Jonas.
