This is why you don't have a fucking concert when there's strong wind. Also, wasn't there a stadium collapse recently, also due to abnormally strong winds?

Woah, you could see the lightning strike in the background.
Looked like the apocalypse.
That fucking terrified me, Holy shit i hope those 40 people are alright.
Saw this on the news this morning
Its terrifying that you could just see the people near the stage get sqaushed.
People die at the Texas State Fair, but usually its slow death of obesity from fried Twinkies.
What happens when you have that much weight to an already clearly flimsy stand.

That wasn't it at all. Prior to the storm it was a perfectly stable structure. 60mph winds tend to fuck shit up.

just kidding youre a terrible person
Yeah, was talking to a friend who lives in Indiana and she got a part of the storm and it was REALLY bad. News told them to get inside immediately and brace yourselves pretty much. It was that bad.
Shame for the 4 that died, and hopes for the 40 that will make it.
The whole area should have been evacuated way sooner. Such a terrible and pointless loss of life :(
Holy shit that scared me!
Imagine actually being there to witness that

They had already begun evacuating the Grandstand when the stage collapsed.
Looks so surreal.
Like something from a movie.
That is sad...
Wow, I'm never going near a stage in strong winds ever again.

Just like when I saw a video of someone being pushed in front of a subway train, now I never go near the track until the train has arrived.

Aren't you so witty.
Thats horrible. I hope the injured are recovering well.

Ehh, didn't look it, least to me.
[editline]14th August 2011[/editline]
just how skinny looking the support beams are I guess.
I bet everybody who was there is going to remember that for the rest of their lives. That was completely surreal.

I am a big fucking idiot with no idea how the world works. I should die in a big fire. I am sorry.

actually... those stages have been proven to be weak, even with barely any wind at all.
I kind of wish that someone towards the front was recording as well. That'd be interesting to see how it all happened.
I swear by the right side of where the stage collapses you can see a guy running with a white hat before getting crushed. :'(

Wait I think he gets out ok!

You can also see two people running, and just before the stage hits them they throw themselves to the ground.
