Or maybe it's been a long time since they've done the building inspection.

Pretty good set up man for Billy Wagner for 2-3 years early 2000s

Got to wonder about how the roof collapsed.
Where they on the roof or was the party inside the building and roof came down on them?

Would really like to hear WTH happened.
