Plaque ceremony memorializes victims of the Berkeley balcony collapse

Ashley Donohoe, 22, from Rohnert Park; and Olivia Burke, Eimear Walsh, Eoghan Culligan, Nick Schuster and Lorcán Miller, all 21 years old and from Ireland, died and seven others were injured. They had come to the United States for the summer to work and were celebrating a friend’s 21st birthday in a fifth-floor apartment at 2020 Kittredge Street, then known as Library Gardens apartment complex. Thirteen were on the balcony when it collapsed, sending them down to the sidewalk below.
