A FLOOR COLLAPSED WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN A VAXJO, SWEDEN, building that houses a Weight Watchers clinic after everybody gathered in the room to get on the scales to see how much weight they had lost.
Not enough, it seems. One of the dieters told the Smalandsposten newspaper: “We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls.” Immediately the floor started failing in other parts of the room and before long the entire floor had fallen into the lower level. The dedicated Watchers managed to scamper out of the room to safety before it all fell in, however.
They also managed to grab the scales and take them along where they set them up in the hallway just outside the room and continued their weigh-in. This time the floor held.
The cause of the collapse is still under investigation, but according to the clinic’s director, they’ll have to find another premises.
