Another deck collapse

At the time of collapse, what loading was the deck experiencing?

Outside of the connections, is this another Hyatt Regency walkway live loading scenario?

There were supposedly 25 people that were injured, so around that number. The deck looks like it could easily accommodate about 60 people.
