A pier collapse at the "La Palma" restaurant on Lake Tequesquitengo in Morelos, Mexico, sent around 30 people into the water during a water acrobatics show on May 30, 2025. While two people suffered minor injuries and received on-site treatment, thankfully, no serious injuries were reported. Authorities are currently investigating the incident, looking into whether a boat collision contributed to the pier's collapse. "It happened so fast," said one eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous. "The pier just gave way, and everyone tumbled into the lake." The incident highlights the importance of regular safety inspections and structural maintenance of similar waterfront structures. The quick response from emergency services and the lack of serious injuries offer a positive note to this otherwise alarming event.
