WATCH: Piano Thrown Off 6-Story MIT Building

To celebrate a longstanding tradition, technical college students destroyed a perfectly good piano.

Some traditions don’t need an explanation.

BetaBoston reports that MIT students have been tossing pianos off the Baker House dormitory annually since 2005. Supposedly this has something to do with commemorating the last day students are allowed to drop classes for the semester.

Probably, it’s just because it can be fun to break stuff (so long as it’s in a harmless, celebratory manner).
