Unbelievable to place this kind of disasters on youtube.
Seeing that footage could change things, and save lives.

Totally agreed.......but I don't think YouTube is the right place for it.

I understand.... but Where is better?
I used to not like youtube, but over time I have come to to see is THE news, THE people's information.... there are so many camera out there now, and so many people can see things, video them and post them, and millions can see it.... without some "higher up" authority killing the story... although... sometimes youtube kills stories... it would not surprise me to see this clip be removed from youtube.

Yeah twice now in a short period of time this happened. This time with fatalaties. They either need to put much better staging or rethink having outdoor shows with that kind of weather.Quote

Something similar happened in Ottawa during a Cheap Trick concert. A freak wind blast, or something like that.
No fatalities in that one thankfully. Cheap Trick were shaken, and refused to play at a similar setup in Vancouver during the annual Pacific National Exhibition.
Obviously whatever 'standards' there are for this kind of thing are not sufficient.

I'm a certified rigger and ,after seeing the video, I don't believe the roof system was properly guy-wired to either concrete blocks or large water-filled plastic barrels as is safe and common practice. Also, when the weather service put out a notice that a storm with 40 mph winds was approaching and expected to hit the fair at 9:15 PM, the roof system should have been lowered to 10 feet off the stage deck until the storm passed.

I was there at the Cheap Trick show, 30 feet in fron of the stage as it fell down. My band played earlier during the festival (it's a 2 week event) on the other mainstage which stayed up during the blast, but I guess the War Museum at the site protected it from also coming down.
It was the scariest thing I've witnessed first-hand at a show. we were shaken, but reports of panic in Rolling Stone magazine simply weren't true, we all calmly filed out of there despite the tearing hail that followed.
What happened in Indiana is an awful, awful tragedy. I haven't seen the video clip and I don't want to. So sad.
