Stage Collapses at Indiana State Fair

Post by Queso Man »

Tragic. At least 5 people dead already, and dozens injured.
I'm glad I didn't go.. I know a girl who was in the front row, but luckily she made it out safe. It was the inner pit that got crushed. My aunt and uncle were at the fair too, they didn't see it happen, but they heard the screaming and saw the panic.

And yeah, the sums tweeted about it. Please pray for all those affected by this

i was there earlier in the week, and i was actually in front of that stage walking around with my friends who show cows there. my step grandparents were there and said it was pretty awful. its hard to understand why this stuff happens and makes you think about how crazy life can be.

Just terrible. I can't even watch that more than once. You can literally see the people running from it and getting crushed.

the technicians there will probably get their ass kicked, kicked hard, these things shouldn't happen ...
This is Mark Allen Hoppus. He likes long walks on the beach. This, this is travis barker. He likes to be read poetry just before sunset. And me, I like to stick small pieces of furniture up my butt.

I spy on my dad while he is taking a shower just like everyone else
Mark: Sometimes when I talk in 3rd person i end up calling tom mark
Tom:Yea than he starts touching me and i think thats masturbation
Some people think were idiots or perverts dont argue were both.

Might be a harsh thing to ask, but does anyone know if people died here? It's terrible..

Yeah.. The blame has to be put on somebody, though, it's not any one person's fault. It was some crazy weather. Just look at the sky in the video.

Didn't feel like making a new thread, but Pukkelpop festival in Belgium had a stage coming down today.

Yes

It's pretty fucked up, was planning to go but I'm quit happy I'm not going..

Only one person died and several others are bad injured.. I heard it was a really bad bad storm. Didn't see anything about it because I wasn't on the places where the storm went through..

Fuckin crazy, where I was it was like 25 degres, shit load of sun and then only 100km further shit is going on. feeling so bad. A lot of people aren't able to make contact, loads of cellphones destroyed by the rain..
