Madonna Stage Collapse France Slide Show

[ukeelady]

As usual, let's pass the buck onto a wealthy woman so she can pay for what we should have known and repaired before she ever arrived. Non accountability strikes again!

Mercedes make ambulances!

[hoopsnyoyo15]

how the crap would it be madonna's fault???

[Alphadog7887]

-.- these things piss me off. NO it wasn't his fucking destiny to die. It was an ACCIDENT. End of story. And it wasn't Madonna's fault either.

[shug804]

my thoghts are with the family and friends of the victems

[drunkmonk]

i put this same stage up in wembley last year !and it took 3 days with about 60 of us working 12 hour shifts day and night. it was a huge stage

[OB3Y19]

Have some f**king respect! my mate died in this and his team were all british so it wasn't anything to do with communication!

[theworldofsugabass]

the music's horrible. thanks for the pictures.

[Rawbie]

Oh yes cause Madonna has powers to make stages collapse when she's not even there.

it was the moron putting it up wrong. They stated most of the workers we're all different nationalities. Which is beautiful.... but the communication must have been shit.

[tuneram]

hope someone will post better photos of roof, fault? well... the design of the roof, the lead tech that was over the building of the roof (and structural loading) crane operators (proper cribbing and operation), wind, riggers, equipment failure.... to many possible faults have to wait for investigation.

[cramcret]

wow this was sad. loads of people on twitter said that it was madonna's fault. i do not agree

[esxpress]

WHAT!!!!!!! its not madonnas fault !!!! its nobodys fault ..it was the mans destiny to die this way...man people can be so stupid ..its not like madonna wanted him to die ...it was an accident...sorry but I am just really angry people are saying this .. :(

[cramcret]

i know. i dont know why people are turning against her. i seriously dont agree with them. she did nothing wrong. :(

[nnytom]

it was his destiny to die?..

[esxpress]

well it was the way he died ...the way he was supposed to die ...RIP all of the people and families who wore affected

[JTV84]

you can't say it's nobody's fault, those people died because of equipment that was either misused or faulty. either way someone is at least partly responsible for it.

[Mikes1800]

@JTV84 not to worry, the insurance companies and their lawyers will be sure to fight it out for the next few years determining who's at fault. And the lawyers will be the big winners.

[JTV84]

@Mikes1800 well i know one thing, the slings that were holding the roof weren't faulty. i tested some out of the same batch as the one that broke and they all took in excess of 70t (SWL was 10t iirc) so obviously something was being done wrong in order for that to break. but you're right, the only winners out of this will be the lawyers.

[MrTheboffin]

@esxpress they're not accusing madonna. to what I heard from the friend of a friend who worked there. they had a motor that failed and the producer were in a hurry so insisted for the roof to go up. so they used a crane and a 3 ton connector when they needed at least 5 if not 10 or 20. the connector snaped andit all came down. to what I heard the responcible and probably the producer are in prison.

[Vdriver]

so each venue gives a structure 4 the lights & stuff...?

[hollywoodnights]

no...for large tours like this there are normally 2 or 3 stages that "leap-frog" one another. for example while madonna is performing on one stage, another one is already being built at the next venue, and another may be on its was from the last show, to the ahow after next.

i hop thats clear!lol

[esxpress]

yhea I got you but man how much does one of her stages cost???? I mean to have 3 of them must be like around 10 million dollars

[Madonnadevotedfan]

so sad
