The Clemson Municipal Police received a call regarding the collapse of Woodlands Apartments, on the Greenville Expressway, around 12:30 pm Sunday morning.
The video on social media shows people listening to music and hopping up and down, forcing the first floor to give way. Dozens of people have fallen to a level with broken ground.
A private party was organized at the time of the collapse. We do not know who was organizing the party.
Clemson Police Chief Jimmy Dixon said no one was trapped.
Thirty people were transported to three hospitals in the region, officials said.

"I'm watching the situation, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been hurt," said Clemson University President Jim Clements.
