Two people are still in the hospital after the floor dropped out of a wedding venue in New Hampshire over the weekend.

More than 100 people were on the floor at the Preserve in Tamworth when it fell around eight feet while they were inside the Sap House on Saturday.

Six people were rushed to the hospital to be treated for their injuries and two people still remained there as of Monday, according to the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s office.

The Fire Marshal’s office also said Monday that the Sap House predates the state’s building code.

Officials say they are looking into the layout of the space, seating types, and the exit capacity and are reviewing the occupancy load.

Officials say the owner of the property has been cooperative during the investigation.
