Mourners have placed dozens of bouquets, an Irish flag, a map of Ireland and two giant wreaths outside the California apartment building where a balcony full of people collapsed during a 21st birthday party.

The fifth-floor balcony in the college town of Berkeley gave way early Tuesday, spilling 13 partygoers onto the pavement below. Five 21-year-old Irish students who were in the U.S. on work visas were killed, along with a 22-year-old Northern California woman.

The conditions of the seven survivors were not immediately available Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday afternoon, Ireland’s Consul General Philip Grant and Mayor Tom Bates laid two wreaths: one on behalf of the nation of Ireland, and one on the behalf of the Irish community in the United States. A bagpipe played in the background.
