Maybe there' s a crazy deck cutting terrorist running around, weakening them strategically.

/half in jest half serious.

The article said the Deck pulled away from the house. That is very common when built wrong and not properly anchored to the house.
The Chicago deck was just simply overloaded. The wood snapped right in the middle from the extreme weight.
It's a deck not a parking garage
