A Smashing tradition: MIT Students Drop Piano One of the highlights of the school year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology only lasts a few seconds but has a big influence. Residents of an MIT dormitory dropped an upright piano from their roof on 26 th April to celebrate the last day students can drop classes without having them appear on their college report. About 200 onlookers watched as the piano crashed into a second piano, a baby grand, positioned on the ground six stories below for a better smash.
