On September 4th, 1993, Aenu Hotel crumbled for over 16 hours, until it collapsed down.

Collapse Timeline
The Aenu Hotel is a building. The building is tall and has floors. The collapse took place on September 4, 1993.

The Aenu Hotel also is a normal rectangular tower with glass windows and has a hotel on all floors. The Aenu Hotel was meant to handle disasters, but the disaster that caused it to crumble was not just a regular disaster.

On September 3, 1993 at 8:00 am, the disaster struck. The Aenu Hotel did relatively fine. After all, it was designed for situations like this. Five windows were shattered. However, 3 hours and 12 minutes later, a tree near the hotel had uprooted and struck the hotel on the 89% of the way to the top, destroying the staircase and creating an open hole on the south side.

Some worked in the building to get the tree out of the way while some were in the hotel. Everyone on the top 11% were stuck meaning that some 175 Robloxians in the hotel would be stranded. Nothing would change until 9 hours and 36 minutes later when lightning somehow by a miracle struck exactly in the hole of the building hitting the tree which started a fire. The damages got worse. With the fire getting intense and spreading to the top 11%, it seemed certain that the Aenu Hotel's end was near. The hotel started to tilt as pieces of the fire affected floors started to fall apart and the hotel started to lean to the south east side 23% of the way to the top of hotel.

While most from the bottom 85% successfully evacuated, most of those on the hotel were stuck. Helicopters arrived but they could not rescue people as part of the roof collapsed too  Helicopters remained on the scene until the building was near collapse. 3 hours and 12 minutes later, the hotel started to lean more. The fire was still going on although not as severe. Soon the hotel lost balance and snapped causing it to fall over and destroy the entire structure killing at least 1,524  Robloxians. (It is known that some Robloxians were on the ground. )

The collapse of the Aenu Hotel was a shock to many especially with the owner of the building claiming it would withstand disasters.

The most inspiring story of a survivor of this collapse is that of a 23 year old Robloxian. The Robloxian was on the fire affected top 11% when wind blew her and she fell on the previous floor breaking the Robloxian's hand and left hip. This attracted the attention of a 35 year old Robloxian who worked on the top 17% who saw a 23 year old Robloxian injured badly. The 35 year old Robloxian went up to the floor where the 23 year old Robloxian broke their hand and hip and carried the Robloxian down to the ground until the 35 year old Robloxian found the Robloxian Navy members trying to rescue anyone left near the hotel. The 23 year old Robloxian is the only person who survived the collapse out of the 1,525.
