Part of the Shuckers Bar and Grill ended up in Biscayne Bay after a deck collapse that happened while patrons were watching Game 4 last night in Miami.
About 100 people were on the deck when it gave way, and two dozen people were sent to hospital. Most people suffered cuts and bruises, but one person was treated for a fracture and two are listed as critical in local hospitals.
"That was a big gathering watching the Miami Heat and Spurs," said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokeswoman Griselle Marino. "There were a lot of TVs and everybody was in celebration and it was loud. So when it started happening, some people didn't even realize what was going on.
"We could have had a lot more seriously injured people but right now it seems to be a very positive outcome."
Patrons that weren't watching the game on the deck dove into the bay to help in the rescue efforts. And, while there were initial concerns that people were under the deck in the bay after the collapse, everyone was accounted for fairly quickly.
Here's your morning update...

North Bay Village Mayor Connie Leon Kreps said her city and government would conduct a "thorough investigation" of what caused the collapse at Shuckers.
