On May 24, 1913, during the "British Empire Day" celebration, 10,000 people on the upper floor of a double-deck pier in front of the Auditorium caused a section to collapse. 400 people fell when those on the top deck fell upon the hundreds crowded on the lower deck which fell to the beach forty feet below. A section of the auditorium came down and added to the wreckage that fell of top of the injured and the dead. Thirty-three, mostly women, were killed.
