A block of ice shattered a glass roof during a star-studded party at the Sony Building in New York City on Saturday night, injuring 10 people. Sex and the City actor Chris Noth and Jersey Shore stars Vinny Guadagnino and Snooki Polizzi were caught up in the terrifying incident after the glass atrium collapsed on partygoers attending a Purim bash at the Sony Building, where around 300 guests gathered to celebrate the Jewish festival.
A spokesman for the New York City Fire Department says the evening turned to disaster when the glass ceiling of the atrium caved in under the weight of ice and snow that had been collecting on the roof since the start of a very snowy winter in the Big Apple. The collapse sent dangerous shards flying into the lobby below.
The spokesman said no one was seriously hurt, but four of the injured were taken to nearby Roosevelt Hospital with minor injuries.
Snooki, took to her Twitter.com page to tell fans of the terrifying accident, writing: “OMG roof just collapsed (sic). We thought the DJ was beatin’ the beat hardcore but nope, the roof couldn’t handle Snooki and Vin.”
But Vin claimed the incident might be due to other forces: “Roof just collapsed at Purim event…. I think me and @snooki felt the wrath for not being Jewish….”
