Indiana Stage Collapse Causes Five Deaths | News @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/indiana_stage_collapse_causes_five_deaths.html)

Short version: A giant gust of wind knocks part of the stage at a Sugarland concert over, killing 5 people and wounding many others.

I watched the video below the article... shocking.

Holy sh-- didn't see the video at first, it just kinda fell, no chance to even get out of there.

I'm always afraid that the giant speaker things are going to fall off or something. Good thing I only really ever go to indoor concerts, and the outdoor ones I go to are like actual permanant stages, instead of ones that they set up to hold the concert, then take it down

It's insane to think that the people who survived, who were right behind the terribly unfortunate ones, escaped death by like... nothing at all. I bet that will play on their mind for all of their time now. Not to mention them witnessing the deaths of these people, and the injuries all others sustained.

It's bad enough watching the video, from a perspective that is quite a distance away from the incident.

Wow, the vid is indeed shocking.. I saw a headline about this this morning but didn't have time to read it. I figured just a portion of the stage collapsed, but the whole damn thing came down. Horrible :/

My god, that would've been disturbing to witness in real life, and the clouds above them look dangerous as well.....I can imagine all of the metal poles and heavy lights crushing the people...Its a horrible thought :(

I seen other videos on MSN, but the one Linux posted was new and even more shocking. It's a good thing people reacted to aid those trapped instead of run away. Nature's wrath cannot be control, but it could have been avoided. May their souls find peace.

thats pretty grim.....

The part that makes it worse, is that if you look closely to the screen when the stage collapses, you can see a large amount of people getting crushed by the stage, its pretty confronting footage to say the least, and I those of whom survived the incident get well, its really bad hear about deaths, especially when they are unintentional and accidental.
