The Thanksgiving Day Disaster

On November 29, 1990, during a college football game in San Francisco, many people gathered on the roof of a glass-blowing factory to watch the game for free. Unable to support the gathering crowd, the roof collapsed and hundreds of fans fell directly on top of a furnace. Around 23 people were killed, but the game continued. This event is remembered as The Thanksgiving Day Disaster.
