It was a tragic scene last Saturday night at the Indiana State Fair. Moments before the band Sugarland was set to come out and play a gust of wind estimated at 60-70 mph caused the massive outdoor stage to collapse.
Four fans and one stage crew member were killed and at least forty-five others were injured. The fair was closed down on Sunday and reopened Monday with a memorial service for the victims.
In this tragedy there were still large heroic efforts made by the concertgoers. As the stage collapsed people were running to get away from it, but almost as soon as it became stable there was a rush of people back to the area. Concertgoers were working together to lift the stage and help people that were trapped. They were making stretchers out of the chairs and carrying people to safety.
The collapse is being investigated.
