All I have to say is that at least my porch is made of wood, not concrete, so when it collapses, at least a thousand pounds of debris falling on whoever is below will have a lower density:
A concrete porch collapsed and killed a termite exterminator Monday afternoon in Curtis Park.
Capt. Jim Doucette, with the Sacramento Fire Department, said two workers were underneath a vacant house on the 2800 block of 27th Street at about 1:30 p.m. when the porch fell on them.
"In my experience, almost 30 years, it's a freak accident," Doucette said.
Rescuers used air bags to lift a 4-foot by 6-foot concrete slab, weighing at least 1,000 pounds, off the victim. Although crews got to the home within minutes, it took nearly a half-hour to pull the man from under the massive slab. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
