Saw the video on the news, scary shit.

Can't believe people are making jokes about it on Youtube.
Some of the comments are disgusting.

    What a horrible tragedy ... :cry:

    A BIG thank you to all of those at the concert that instead of fleeing in panic, went to help their fellow Hoosiers ... so many to thank for rising to the occasion of helping a fellow stranger.

    True hero's ...

    that stage looked to be built on stilts. collapsed like a house of cards and i can't believe big name acts like sugarland and lady a would agree to play on such a stage.

    This must not happen again!
    Stage set up and safety must be reviewed!

    remind me to not get on/near any stage/platform in indiana.

    first the ND kid gets killed when his platform falls over and now this.

    yikes

    the venue was warned that there was a 'storm warning' with 'gusts up to 50 MPH'...but as the weather guy said, 'we cannot predict with certainty that a storm will or will not occur'

    very scary indeed.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
