Hugh_Jazz Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 God, that's awful. They're currently saying that only 4 have died.....be amazed if that doesn't go higher. Looked to be fair number of people under the stage when it went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Knight Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 stage collapseThat's horrible! Can see several people are under that when it comes down. Hope your friends are okay Graham. Stage collapse kills concertgoers in Indiana - Channel 4 NewsThis all happened last night. Ther Fair is a big event over several days.My young Facebook Friends, Jared Freiburg, was to be playing this afternoon and the longer established Terry Ridley and his band were due to play on Tuesday and Wednesday night. So they have all luckily missed this tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Saw the video yesterday. Awful.Apparently the stage was perfectly legit. Nothing overlooked in it's construction. They're basically saying its a horrible accident due to the unexpected high winds.Still, horrible to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine, you skip a couple of rudimentary safety checks to bump off early and that happens....xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
