Stage Collapses...

 Coolness: 2603990 | Less than a month after separate accidents at Cheap Trick and Flaming Lips concerts, a stage collapse on Saturday night at the Indiana State Fair killed at least five and injured dozens. The death toll climbed from an earlier count of three, according to Indiana State Police, and could still change as the injured are accounted for. According to CNN, just after singer Sara Bareilles' set, a sudden gust of wind sent scaffolding and speakers crashing into the crowd. One concert goer said the stage "snapped like a toothpick," as audience members rushed to the heaps of metal to try to free those trapped. Some created makeshift stretchers out of parts of their seats to take away the injured. "Fortunately we are all safe, but a tragic stage accident has injured some folks in indiana. Our prayers are with them and their families," said Bareilles on Twitter just after the accident. An hour later, she followed it with "I'm speechless and feel so helpless. Please send love and prayers to Indianapolis tonight. My heart aches for the lives lost. #indyiloveu." Country duo Sugarland's Twitter feed also said "We are all right. We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you'll join us. They need your strength." The tragedy follows a July stage collapse at a Cheap Trick concert in Canada, and a storm-driven collapse at a Flaming Lips concert in Oklahoma earlier this month. No one was seriously injured in either incident. |

 Coolness: 166550 | For the first 3 Kinteik-Fests, we built up an entire stage in the venue, and never had any problems. Who are these incompetent lunatics they're hiring to make these ultra-fragile stages for shit's sake? o_O |

| Coolness: 685595 | From what I remember reading, the storm was a surprise.. it was supposed to be a nice, clear day, and in a matter of minutes winds over 50mph just whipped through the area |

 Coolness: 131600 | saddly , this old shit has happen since the 70s. some ppl in there would never got into rocket science as im pretty shure the stress imposed on the rented kids to put this up together , never bothered asserting safety or even the organisators being opened about hearing that something doesnt seem right seconds before the show.
when will money and hormonal issues will be put aside and people actually listen and act upon reason ? |
