Bluesfest main stage collapsed

[KrystelLucas]

I think the assholes who recorded this are fucking idiots. Doesn't mean the other 500+ people there are insensitive about it.

[hoangthuthuy510]

At 8 o'clock am on December 24 Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't find the cause of his death. His mom checked her emails to find any clues. Apparently he was still signed into myspace and had read this but didnt repose. If you don't repose this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry I don't wanna die yet

[TheLORDismySheperd1]

I just am amazed at this culture.

Don't go run for help or call 9-1-1, NO! Take lots of video so you can try to become famous on youtube!

I pray that none of these people ever suffer from this type of behavior if THEY'RE the ones who need help.

[Syphonaptera]

Idiots are laughing....no brains at all....

[ericasalad]

@entitledtodefeat you're not a lawyer! I just tried phoning you

[KalexR16]

A stage collapsed on 74 people.

[fenderjagmeister]

this pales in comparison to the who concert at river front in 79

[samzy0001]

At 0:03 "that was awesome......!!!!!!!"

[rozybear1]

Cheap Trick managed to run off the stage just before it collapsed... they were half way down the stairs when it collapsed. Their bus driver got injured though. One of the band member posted a video of it, he was narrating the aftermath when he noticed his driver on the gurney.

[eRochMedia]

i hope rise against was okay.

[ZiiPix]

oh shit

[neostawr]

I like how this video is in the Entertainment category.

[hiljuicyxo]

@neostawr i was just thinking that myself. Kind of disrespectful in a way. People got hurt during this event and my prayers are with those who did. Whom ever posted this in the entertainment section of Youtube should be ashamed of themselves.

[newtubetubetube]

The video start, you hear "That was awesome" and the stage is already collapsed.

Complete failure. Fuck you.

[Mileyfanboner]

@newtubetubetube hows that a failure?

[newtubetubetube]

@Mileyfanboner It's a video. It show noting. The event already happened.

You are a failure for not seeing how much this video has fail.

[R0o0g3r]

the only exciting part of bluesfest hahaha

[tylerml]

@R0o0g3r Yeah right... There were some awesome bands there

[209sharkfisher]

@R0o0g3r Did I mention you are a douchebag?

[R0o0g3r]

best part of Bluesfest!

[209sharkfisher]

@R0o0g3r You're a fucking LOSER !!

[37Bert37]

Chip Trick is dead haha

[crazykid2211]

That's what happens if Cheap Trick don't pay their bills.

[Seplechura]

ahhhhh........ who gives a fuck?

[CarSpotterHD]

wtf happened like in every video its just people walking around ...

[sukkkmyballs]

SENS SUCK

[awsomeking5]

@sukkkmyballs no shit

[zergcheezer]

outta my way son

[Feyangel23]

Sux

[RoccoMassiah]

This storm was intense and came in FAST, one min normal then 120km winds with crazy lightning, knocked out power for large sections of the city. extreme weather is on the rise all over the world and Ottawa is not immune to these events now or in the future. listen to the governments of the world including NASA. Think about what you would do without power for extended period of time, what would you need etc. Think of emergency preparedness as a form of life insurance.

[Tailwound007]

I live in Ottawa.. That wind storm was fucking horrible :3

[meric19]

"Cheap Trick is Dead!!!"

[doorcountywhitefish]

@meric19 Your an asshole

[tspider7]

The wind was so strong that day trees fell and there was a thunder storm

[Sepharite]

this was staged

[andyissocool]

that was awsome



[777444101]

This sucks balls

[jayturgeon]

Ah ah bravo

[KDH321111111111]

wow - cool pg at DEREKD2112 too

[haithy]

hahah best thing to ever happen in Ottawa

[Jam65876]

i was there very close to the stage its amazing no one died

[microwavebleTaco]

"Cheap trick is dead"

Whatever happened to humanity

[krazykanadian6]

What a deralict piece of shit... who ever set those stands up was takin a serious 5

[eyevocal]

"Holy fuck, that was awesome!" "Cheap Trick is dead!" Can we stand around and laugh at you and call it "awesome" if one of these storms damages your house, you pinhead?

[stephanevallieres]

:21 Fuckin idiot : Cheap Trick is dead, ah ah.... Go get a life ! Fu. bast....

[bighonkies]

wish u had been in the audience when this happened fucktard u wouldn't be laughing then

[episodeseven]

Cheap Trick is dead? You're an asshole dude.

[apolitikmusic]

Ignorant.

[moatartareque]

This makes me want to say fuck humanity, treating this as some kind of entertainment.

[msmelaniejmortensen]

Take a look at the video at around 0:19 to 0:22--I think you can see "funnel clouds". We were lucky it wasn't a lot worse!

[ROOKTABULA]

"Holy Fuck! That was awesome!"

"Cheap Trick is dead!"

I sincerely don't think there were as many insensitive, cro-mag fuk holes as we have on Earth today.

Trolls.

Fail.

As humans.

Utter fucking fail

[max8987]

@ROOKTABULA

oh boo hoo, the stage fell, they're still at a concert. what are we going to suddenly switch off fun-mode and kill our buzz because of an accident that could have injured people? when they come on the mic and say they have to move the set cause someone got mamed, thats the time for dramatic silences and prayer circles, but until then reserve the emotional overreaction for the cat-ladies, okay?

and besides, you're not mr perfect yourself mr im better than humanity...

[ROOKTABULA]

@max8987

Hi idiot!

At the time of this recording, none of the hindsight you use to justify this idiotic depravity was known.

So like these fuktards, you get a fail.

An actual bigger one since they were in a stressful situation.

You're just sitting in your sweatpants, weeks later, defending such moronic behaviour making you a VERY large version of the handle on a door.

Have a nice hot mug of STFU on me maxhole

[max8987]

@ROOKTABULA

well actually, your post defends me. you state that "those things were not known before", and that i am speaking in retrospect. however, it is clearly you who is making retrospective judgement. i was defending the retards because at the time of their response, no knowledge of cheap trick's condition was known. therefore, one would continue doing what they were already doing - having fun, acting stupid at a concert.

you're judging them based on something they didnt know yet...

[Fairtothehead]

Ottawa, a beautiful city, full of beautiful people with big hearts and welcoming arms! Crazy shit happens from time to time in each and every city in the world. Nobody reacts as themselves in moments of hysterics, fear or surprise. Every city has fuck tards who enjoy the suffering of others. Maybe this is one example, maybe it isn't, either way, you wouldn't know, cause you were not fucking there before and after this short clip. So shut your loud mouth pie hole

[Absydion]

@Fairtothehead I was there. These guys are assholes. There's lots of insensitive assholes at Bluesfest.

[DancerProductionsx3]

@Fairtothehead PREACH

[Fairtothehead]

Oh and BTW, the worst injuries were sustained by Cheap Trick's driver, wild.

[Fairtothehead]

The security guys were fucking amazing. They ran in there like a whole football team of supermans. I was cheering them on!

[Fairtothehead]

To all you trawling shit heads - not one of you mentioned the girl at 0:05 said "are they okay?" people do care, you heard the clear voices of maybe 4 people in a venue holding thousands and thousands. One asked if they were okay, one that was awesome, which it was, look up the definition of awesome if you disagree with me, and I said the band had died because I thought must have been killed by the wreckage, you can also hear security yelling "Move" as they rushed in to help. Fuck the haters

[fluffypop78]

Why even go to a show if you can't even respect the band you are watching? Idiotic comments coming from, well, idiots.. I see no humor in this whatsoever. Not to mention Cheap Trick is one of my favorite bands. It wouldnt have been funny no matter what band. Immature Morons!!!!

[FAQWIS]

It all goes to show the low class disrespectful people are in Ottawa !! I am glad to hear non of the members from Cheap Trick were hurt during this storm !! As for the low class idiots in Ottawa who think its awesome or funny to say something insensitive like Cheap Trick is Dead. I hope that bands across the world ban the Bluesfest from their schedule !! You don't deserve to have bands come there just to disrespect and wish the worst on someone !! Ottawa should be classified as the trash hole !!

[Fairtothehead]

@FAQWIS I hope the city you live in burns in hell for housing such an ignorant fuck tard. "hey i watched a video of an event I never attended in a town I clearly hate for some other reasons and I totally decided I would stereotype the entire city based on the misinterpreted reactions of a few random people on a 37 second video while they all ran out of the event while being pelted with hail." You might as well have said that.

[SuperToaster1234]

@FAQWIS You are an ignorant idiot who is no better than the "low class idiot". I attended Bluesfest and never said anything like that as well as most concert goers. Fuck your stereotyping, you're honestly such a dumbass to even write such a comment. Insulting over a million people for what ONE GUYS SAYS on some random youtube video.

[Fairtothehead]

@SuperToaster1234 lol and he totally misunderstood what I said on top of his ignorant slandering and stereotyping!

[TheNikfantastic]

@FAQWIS wow! you really are a pigeon-holing dumb cunt.

[Fairtothehead]

People just seriously need to shut their mouths. Patrons were in hysterics, hail was smashing people in the face, nobody there had ever seen such a spectacle. There are paramedics and security officers and police and firefighters… if you went to try and help, you would be an idiot. People may have laughed or said stupid comments but that is just people reacting to something they couldn't wrap their heads around. I laughed a few times, but it wasn't cause I thought it was funny.

[Fairtothehead]

in fact, if I had chosen a differnet volunteer shift, I would have possibly been back stage. I don't laugh in the video, I did say "Cheap Trick is Dead" in the video, but I never laughed at that point. My laughter earlier though was a response, cause I was so lucky to have avoided being backstage, because the whole thing was incredible, because I was awe struck. @Fairtothehead

[OttawaSenators41]

You people can't blame anything but the weather for this.

What stage is built to withstand a 140 KPH wind gust? None, because something like that is a rare occurrence. Those were the strongest winds I've ever seen.

[milkatron121]

@MuscleCar123 GO FUCK YOURSELF OK? GO BLOW YOUR DAD YOU SORRY SACK OF SHIT!!!! NO ONE DISRESPECTS MY TOWN!!!! GOT IT?

[mbrand19971]

This was a good rockin event until the stage collapes and that`s when all the wise crack jokes began to surface. Thankfully nobody got seriously hurt in that incident and people trying to make something humorous was bad timing for it.

[PNI2]

that was pretty fucking cool

[Musclecar123]

And Ottawa manages to blow the only thing it had going for it. You're now the world's most unimportant and boring city.

[Fairtothehead]

@Musclecar123 jealous much? day twelve of twelve amazing days. The day was not blown, Lupe Fiasco was the shiiiiit!

[TiegroShion]

apparently (according to one guy here) HEHE CHEAP TRICK IS DEAD!!

[Bullion4]

"Cheap Trick is dead!" hahahahahahahahaha

[whitea4]

No, don't rush in to help people or call 911. No, pull out your cell phone, record it and post on twitter!

[Fairtothehead]

"Cheap Trick is dead!!" that was me lmao!!!!! Although, the whiney laugh that follows is not me thank god

[BobSoprano]

@Fairtothehead nice comment idiot...not funny

[Fairtothehead]

@BobSoprano I never meant it as a joke, I actually thought they possibly had died. Somebody else laughed at my "joke" as I pointed out. So keep your judgments to yourself…

[OnlineAutoAuctions]

the TEA Party has started boys the Tea party has started. Out with your left wing nut bar cities. Ottawa can leave Ontario. Take the Entire NCR.

[mikenogas2]

For the people saying that people should have done something, and making jokes about it. I tried to go over and help but was immediately turned away by security,assuring me that everyone was ok. There must have been over 100 officials on the scene, and they really didn't need anybody else helping. They evacuated everyone anyways, and I do see why someone would find it funny as it seems ridiculous and almost impossible to happen

[Fairtothehead]

@mikenogas2 Seriously man, right, like the entire crowd rushing in to help would have been a good idea. Why the fuck don't you (them, not mikenogas2) stop pointing out the flaws of others and do something yourself… right you were not there, makes it pretty easy to voice your opinion

[disasterpastor45]

Looks like a tornado in the frame at 0:35

[Animation1111]

@disasterpastor45 I saw that too moments ago.. when I was watching it on the weather network.

[Lizzz181]

OMG!



[kariya33]

Some people are just *ssholes ... like the one saying "Cheaptrick is dead", those that sound happy about the situation, and the commenter that throws in the "Ottawans are insensitive and should separate (?). There is always a small segment of any city or website that should keep their mouths closed.

[shinitaru]

@kariya33 that's just how people are. it can't be helped. some individuals are capable of more but the human animal on an average self centered, insensitive, & stupid. You can't really expect anything more.

[Fairtothehead]

@kariya33 I said "Cheap Trick is dead" out of astonishment and I didn't understand how they could have survived from my own experience. Stop judging people. It was an incredibly scary moment and people react in weird ways. I certainly saw people who were like "that was awesome" "hahaha I bet someone died". If you had actually been next to me you would have realized what I really said was more like "Cheap trick is dead, omg omg omg I hope they are ok! Holy shit! Holy shit!, Cheap trick is dead!"

[reppinblaksta]

funny as fuck! Ottawa represent!!! this is funny!

[luxaeternus]

Glad to see everyone here is concerned and trying to help.....assholes

[OnlineAutoAuctions]

Now if we could just get the NDP, Liberals and Harper to go across the Ottawa River in the same fashion. Separate Separate Separate Ottawa, keep your scum civil servants and Hated Sales Tax. Go FightHST 2 more days to go and its gone from BC

[Absydion]

I'm disgusting that people sound happy about this, or are making jokes. Don't they realize that many people could be very, very hurt or killed? If they don,t don't they care?

[juliagoolia72]

"that was awesome..." Insensitive much?

[JourneyRaisedOnRadio]

I can't complete someone said with a laugh, "Cheap Trick is dead!"

[OnlineAutoAuctions]

WANT PROOF OTTAWA SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF ONTARIO - LISTEN TO THESE OTTAWA ASSHOLES. NOT ONE PERSON SAYS CAN WE HELP, OMG

NO, WE HAVE HA HA HA CHEAP TRICK IS DEAD. SEPARATE NOW OTTAWA WE WONT MISS YOU IN ONTARIO GET OUT NOW YOU THIEVES.

[sel011]

@OnlineAutoAuctions you mayyyyy be talking about Quebec...Ottawa is a part of Ontario and so that would mean all of Ontario would seperate.....

on an unrelated note, that's horrible, i'm glad no one was seriously hurt. just a broken leg for one person it seems.

[WisemanL]

@OnlineAutoAuctions I heard anger management can help with these kinda things. Besides Torontos the biggest bunch of assholes in the country and I live there.

[DiiaMassacre]

@OnlineAutoAuctions This is jsut a small section of people dumbass. There were plenty of people who were asking and trying to help. Plus security was trying to evacuate everyone, because it was dangerous. You're a complete dick.

[tbio2]

@OnlineAutoAuctions Wow. Way to advertise your business with an idiotic statement like that!

If you're going to live in Ontario, perhaps you should pay more attention. Quebec wanted to separate from Canada. It wasn't Ottawa. Ottawa is IN Ontario .. it'd be a little hard for them to separate. LMAO!

Now on to the more important issue .. I'm glad to hear the reports say no one was seriously injured. I hope everyone was able to get out safely.

[sfdragonfly]

was there... my city, check out 'RoBBiE CHiEf - Come Back Home'

[jackieakalipstick411]

I can't believe some idiot said "That was awesome!" some one turn off his 'asshole' button.

[tropicalthunder232]

@jackieakalipstick411 thats asshole was me and that was epic...to bad no shitty bands died...or all you homo's

[jackieakalipstick411]

@tropicalthunder232 so no one has turned off your asshole button I see...too bad you, musical wrestling and your moms weren't in there when it went down.

[tropicalthunder232]

@jackieakalipstick411 lol get a life homo...and yes my mom was there...but wtf is musical wrestling, is that what you and your gay boyfriend do after lathing up in 3lbs of butter

[jackieakalipstick411]

@tropicalthunder232 and how'd you get the butter idea...from your own personal experience? LOL

[tropicalthunder232]

@jackieakalipstick411 want to skype?

[MusicalWrestling]

@jackieakalipstick411 Actually that looks awesome. Get a sense of humor you stupid piece of shit.

[Jam65876]

@MusicalWrestling people were on that stage 30 seconds b4 it fell... when i saw it (i was there) i thought for sure they were dead, thank god no one did die, i dont see this as awesome

[MusicalWrestling]

@Jam65876 No one died and you got some entertainment apart from the shitty bands you came to see. How is that not awesome. Only a stupid christian fag would disagree.

[jackieakalipstick411]

@MusicalWrestling sense of humor? Too bad you and your mom weren't in there when it collapsed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAH

[ceneezer]

Cheers to 106.1FM CHEZ

[amuelb]

the storm hit perth and caused my work to black out... it fried the bun toaster and then the oil vat burst into flames.

mcdonalds defiantly didnt smell good after that...

[EmNeM88]

Not a good year for Ottawa Bluesfest. Lot's of stuff going wrong.

[Fairtothehead]

@EmNeM88 What the heck? what else went wrong? Black Keys were postponed but that was it. Theory of a Dead Man didn't show up, but who cares, they suck and Arkells took their place and played an amazing show!



[MrKillerDolphins]

Jesus... I drove threw that storm-the wind was unreal... There where downed trees, signs, and garbage all over the streets of Ottawa. I live about 10 minutes away and heard all the after math commotion of sirens. Didn't know what it was till a few minutes ago... This video is upsetting-I was at the Bluesfest last weekend and could see how that stage was one huge kite...

[canadianbeech]

@MrKillerDolphins I actually heard the collapse from Centretown, but didn't know what it was at the time. It was shortly after that that the gale force winds hit my house. I found out just after that that the stage had collapsed and I was not the least bit surprised!

[truetohisownsoul]

I WAS FRONT FUCKING ROW...SCARIEST SHIT EVER

[EpicPhailReviews]

@truetohisownsoul did you hear about the guys in the tower? one guy was falling and the mayors aid saved him

[Jones427]

@EpicPhailReviews apparently that was the mayor!

[truetohisownsoul]

@EpicPhailReviews ya i read that actually....messed up. 

[AdammironTV]

OttawaFirePIO Marc Messier:

A second search under the stage at #bluesfest confirms that no one is trapped under the stage. #ottnews #ottawa

[finnsia]

@AdammironTV I was trapped 

[leumasperron]

Dude! I was there too! Just took a cab and came back. Saw the whole thing! ... A lot of people will be injured. There was some backstage. And there was people on top of the stage dhen it fell down! ... Oh my God!

[HannahDahPanda]

I was there.

that was scary as fuck to watch fall down.

and yeah it looks like there is a tornado around 0:34

[EpicPhailReviews]

to admit this is an awful vid, but it was filming the aftermath i guess.

[headcrashesdead]

unreal, this is just 5 minutes from my house. EMT vehicles everywhere.

[jdodd82]

awful video

[gemcee1111]

did they dieded

[EpicPhailReviews]

@gemcee1111 they didnt dieded, news reported only 2 people had minor injuries and it wasn't from the band

[abashford]

@Eleanor I was thinking the same thing... 10 seconds from the end of the video.

[EleanorRigby00]

tornado at :35?

[EpicPhailReviews]

@EleanorRigby00 man my mom was there and she says she saw a tornado sooo. maybe

[EpicPhailReviews]

first, tragic.
