A group of high school students plunged into a river on the day of their prom – but this wasn’t a drunken after-party idea gone wrong.
Nearly two dozen students from Pierce High School had decided to pose for a photo on a picturesque bridge at their friend’s house in rural Nebraska before setting off to the ball.
But as the seniors moved into place, their combined weight proved too much for the rickety platform and they fell into the creek below.
‘My first thought was: “Oh my gosh, everyone’s going to be so angry at me because I organised this”,’ explained Alisha White to KTIV News.
‘But then everyone was really nice about it, and said it wasn’t my fault. You didn’t know that was going to happen, there was nothing you could do,’ she added.
Pictures of the incident have been a huge hit on social media after another prom-goer, Lane Rohrich, uploaded before and after photos to Twitter.
And despite several ruined tuxedos, sodden prom dresses and a few waterlogged mobile phones, the teenagers remained in high spirits and certainly had a prom to remember.
