  • FINAL DESTINATION

  • Its not the stage, it's all the %$^% they hang off it that causes these failures.

  • seems like stages are always collapsing in Canada. Megastage must be the manufacturer. They came here last year to build a stage and half of them french canandians didnt know what the hell they were doing

  • The stage that collapsed here the same kind that collapsed at Bluesfest? If so, maybe we should reconsider that brand for outdoor concerts in Canada?

  • You know that Shelia from South Park say Blame Canada for this disaster

  • yes, shit happens. so tired of all these rightious idiots! God allows us to live. God gives us freedom of choice. whether it's Canada, the US, wherethefuckeva, shit does happen... stop blaming God or whatever, it's called life!!

  • The person who died was my father :(

    i m gonna sue bigtime

  • @pangodwangojones Dude, your profile says you're in your sixties and that you live in Belgium. I'm not saying you're a liar... I'm just saying.

  • @MsColdCanada have some respect for the dead, my father was a cheap trick fan till the end

  • @pangodwangojones Well then my sincere condolences that your father, who died in this incident, was a woman. (idiot)

  • @MsColdCanada no it wasnt, fuck the media cant get anything right these days.

    and dont you ever call me an idiot again or i'll sue you.

  • @pangodwangojones Sue away. Idiot. If you prefer attention whore that would also fit. If your father is a woman does that make your mother a man?

  • @MsColdCanada i dont know really, didnt think about it that much

    maybe ...maybe not, last thing he said to me was "i luv u bunny"

  • Why is it people have to bring in God to simple tragedies? I believe in God but sometimes, shit happens.

  • This is why all parties involved have insurance..... Hopefully, if so bling bling, if not you kill a small business owner, bling bling!

  • The person who died was my friends cousin :(

  • @mandms42 Very Sad !! Hope u and your couzin are ok

  • No big loss.

    It's not that they were Canadians, but that they were country music fans.

  • Ok i live in camrose and for all you americans who say oh it was just a big wind, your wrong. The lights at our church went out and we immideatly had to set up for hundreds of people coming to our church for medical attention. How do you think you would react in that situation?

  • CoOoOoOoL

  • Proof that god hates country music.

  • @timshmullivan loll lol

  • I was on a local outdoor festival show that day and we all heard about it, my sympathy's goes out to the family's to those who were injured, or killed.

  • knowing the weather, why the heck didn't the union chief or who ever was acting as stage manager have that roof down and guyed off before it hit...stupid chances taken equal horrible disasters like this. very sad, and that's just stupid that they were trying to pull a woodstock and talk to the crowd instead of trying to save the deck...why???

  • @thechazdarby Because it literally hit MINUTES after we got the warning, there was no time. I was there and the stage managers did everything they could to get the people off the stage.

  • ::laughs at the banner above the stage::

    Right tool, right place, right? WRONG!!

  • i was there and i know the guy that was in critical condition he my freind

  • @warcrafthunters I was there too, my sister and her husband were under the stage as it collapsed, scariest night of my life....

  • this is just another big windstorm so fuck you all

  • i was part of the clean up crew we had to pick up everthing

  • my ass. blame it on who ever you want. canooks cant do shit for them selves.

  • go fuck yourself.

  • no....

  • i knew the womwan who died..i feel so bad for her family.

  • yall r just pathetic and that is very sad if yall families were there then it's a different story dummies hope everyone who was hurt recovers safely

  • westay has sand in his vagina.

  • funny part is. was a Us company that did the stage Lol

  • Well if any of those families are smart, They should pull some funds together and go into a Joint Lawsuit. They would win too.

  • next time you're at an outdoor event, keep yout family away from these structures unless they're certified by REAL Engineers. sound engineers are not real engineers, LOL! they could have designed break-out panels in the fabric with snaps designed to open and let go at a designed wind speed. this is a tragedy and a disaster of stupidity! all performers should ensure that this is so. it should be in their contract. needless loss of life due to stupidity. wannabee engineers! this happens a lot.

  • @CrackerJackLee thanks for insulting me and other real industry professionals were mix engineers, not structural engineers all of our gear is certified by engineers like you, which ultimately it MEANS IT WAS A REAL ENGINEERS FAULT! Unless someone over exceeded the weight limit of the truss which i doubt. Despite what u seem to think we don't claim to be structural engineers, we are audio engineers *NOTICE THE AUDIO PART BEFORE THE ENGINEER PART.

  • calculate the pressure on the total area developed by a force of even a moderate wind and you will see that all those upright beams could never hold. you'd require huge diameter guy wires at approx 60 degree angles with buried cement blocks to secure them in place.

  • look at the idiocy behind this. i can assure you that no engineer set this stage up. this was built by roadies and wannabee goofs who dropped out of high school and advanced from roadies to sound guys to stage builders. gov't should make it law that stages are approved by safety engineers and not woodstock escapees. the whole stage is a giant sail! like a sail boat.

  • haha kevin cosner is in a band LAME!

  • Kevin Cosner has a band? Let me guess...the songs are three hours long and 2 million over budget.

    Kidding. Long live The Postman.

  • I do know for a fact Steven Seagal has a band

    what this has to do with anything I do not know!!!

  • hahaha good one

  • i hope everyone is ok********

  • My heart goes out to the family that lost a loved one. For her sake I hope she died instantly and did not suffer.

  • how dare you, I am from Alberta, and know the family who lost their loved one, in fact she was a relative of my brother in laws wife. Have some compassion and some tact.

  • I understand that you are probably a very sad pathetic little emo or goth highschool child who is so desperate for attention that you are willing to say hurtful things just to get attention. But let me just say this your hurt and anguish that you feel won't go away by trying to hurt others, it will only grow. I hope that you learn respect, because obviously your family hasn't shown it to you, maybe you need to start showing it first.

  • if you aren't looking for attention, why post something like that? treat people they way they want to be treated (it works better than the golden rule since you would prefer to suffer and so you also think other's should too) i'll look for you in the future under the headline "serial killer strikes again". please get help.

  • id punch u in the fuckin head u goof

  • your a fucking screwball

  • tl;dr

  • plz consider Donna's children watching this on here . I myself think this shouldnt be on youtube...now was that their mother they were taking away???? hmmmm

  • why are ppl having a canada vs usa debate on this video...its so pathetic, canadian inferiority complex i presume

  • they get south park...

  • That's crazy, enjoying a concert and out of nowhere the stage collapses. I feel so sorry for those people. I was at a concert the same day

  • I heard that the one killed was a woman who was crushed by a speaker but idk... I dint think it was possible...

  • ya a women got crashed by a speaker i live in camrose

  • some of those speakers can weigh up to 300 pounds or more and falling from a distance only adds more wirght to the impact.

  • lol, atheists never quit arguing

  • only a missguided idiot christian would tag himself max big wood!ha-ha (priest?) last nite i prayed to a unicorn and nothing happened god did me the same way get the picture? as for the show.. thats the 5th one in 40 days to fail. i know these guys are pros and the thing was rigged proper. sometimes mother nature is a bitch. i say this as i stand under a flown stage looking up at a ever darker sky myself! cheers
  • September 2, 2009

  • that waz so sad to hear****** bless everyone

  • Yea, and I used to be an atheist when I was a good for nothing little shit that thought i was smarter and better than everyone else merely because of a belief (or lack thereof)

  • Hey IranWantsDivorce, fuck you alright? One person is dead and several injured some seriously who may still die unfortunatly. Have some respect for them. What is wrong with your fucking head???? They were just enjoying music. I hope you get hurt one day and we will make fun of it

  • "And the rich man said 'I will live off my riches in glory to the end of my days', and the Lord said 'You fool, do you know this very night your life shall be taken'"

  • true

  • Wow even mother nature hates country.

  • Whoa whoa whoa kids. play nice.  and besides it's only because they went to a country music fest.

  • Youtube halving everyone's maturity again

  • how is it that in a video about a stage collapse people are talking about the economy and nukes... lets be honest here haha caamman!

  • God did it.

  • one more thing usa's debt is over the charts canada's debt isnt that high and also canada's economy is way better and if china stops the trade to usa u guys are fuck for sure

  • im in Canada but i dont care its Alberta

  • *sigh* let me guess, you're in Ontario right?

  • wolf if ur country cant do better than just fuck off u ass

  • Americans dont know that Nukes are pointless, their media spoonfeeds them false knowledge, most Americans are basically retarded

  • Dances with Wolves summoned it.

  • Clearly this is all Kevin Cosners' fault!

  • It's high time that CANADA showed the usa our personal stash of NUKES UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

    Who wants to write messages on them before their launched?????

  • at least we have good health care and WAAAAY better education

  • CXVH is a 14 yrld poser claiming to be 32 in his profile. What a pathetic yankee loser, very typical.

  • Havin't you noticed EVERY "super power" Has gotten it's ass kicked? Lets make a list shall we?

    1. The Nazi Empire (Ass kicked)

    2. The Roman empire. (Ass kicked)

    3. The Korean empire (ass kicked)

    4. The American empire. (getting ass kicked)

  • still can't spell or use punctuation, I see. The correct word is "its" not "it's"

  • sorry,but isn't your country responsible for a world monetary collapse, idiot?

  • wtf? are you stupid ?

  • Hahaha.....Coming from an American.. you are what the world hates ! I bet you voted for Sarah Palin ! Haha

  • -facepalm-

    America is a corrupt, internationally hated empire. It still has a worse violent crime and murder rate than Canada, despite having one of the highest per capita incarceration rates, AND being behind only China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran in executions. Your draconian, ineffective justice system, ruined economy, and your terrible war on drugs and Iraq are some reasons most other countries in the world thinks you're assholes. Plus a woman died in this video jackass leave.

  • what the hell is everyone joking about?

    this is really not funny

    and stop repeating the same damn joke over and over again

    "GOD HATES COUNTRY MUSIC"

    ...i don't like country music either but ...whatever

    i'm wasting my life

  • It just proves nobody likes country music.

  • LOL Home hardware ad above the stage, the right tools, the right job LOL LOL

  • Your a worthless peice of shit, go die

  • wow, your a huge bitch how could you even say that if it werent for obama your country would be a wreck, no wonder theall the other countries hate america... its because of all the tuckup rednecks like you

  • If such a thing happened in USA, I don´t think any Canadian would make fun of it. You know, Canadians, like other people from civilized countries, are able of compassion to others. It doesn´t seem to be the case of too many Americans.

    BTW, is it you at 0:12 on this german video. Those two fat guys look so much your type of American boy?

    v=4UcbWyAY8rY

  • also true

  • Comment removed

  • YOU WANT PIZZA? YOU WANT BURGER?

  • I like how you try to be funny but your making yourself look like a fucking fool because you think your country is superior to ours yet somehow your country is billions of dollars in debt to china (the main source of junk for our dollar stores). So basically your country is partially owned by dollar stores and by the way that one cop does a damn fine job of keeping everything under control because Canada isn't full of ignorant assholes like you, fucktard. No offense to other Americans

  • agreed

  • WOW! you are SO right! absolutely EVERYONE in canada has a moustache! Damn! NOTHIN gets by you! 21st century?? Already?? AND you noticed parked cars!!! GOOD for you! 3 and a half gold stars for you! no we dont have roads at all up here! those were dogsled paths! We have to build shelters in summertime because all our igloos melt in the hot weather! But we arent any good at it because everything just blows down! we dont have big stores with wood and steel- our shelters are of twigs and sticks EH!

  • What a fucking retard you are. Why don't you come up to Alberta, and I'll punch a permanent mustache Into that squirrely little face of yours.

  • Do you know how to spell you stupid fuck?

  • Hahaha,,this must be your first time on the internet?i think id smile if i had the chance to punch you in your ingnorant mouth ,,You dont travel much do you?Do some research on how the world works moron,,,,,Ask yourself,,,,What has the USA done for anyone lately??sure there fighting terrorists,,but thats really an "oil" issue,,which isnt about helping people,,its about helping Big business,,they attacked you ,,not us,,,and for some reason after reading your comment,,could almost understand why!

  • Hey People From The US... At Least This Is The Only Thing Of Ours To Fall Down...

    WHERE ARE YOUR TOWERS... They Fell Fast If I Do Recall... So Stick It

  • Nice.

  • you dont see people suicide bombing the cn tower... thats cuz the world actually likes canada!

  • the towers were terrible...WTF IS WITH YOU PEOPLE. People dying IS NOT funny. AT ALL.

    I BLAME THE MEDIA FOR ALL THIS INSENSITIVITY!

  • Shut up Corey, you moron, you're making Canadians look bad.

  • CoreyDM38, I know some people are making stupid comments, but we shouldn't bring the Sept. 11 attacks into this.

  • StephanieBoudreau01 , they set up the stage properly, it was the hurricane-like winds that knocked it down. i live in camrose, so i know a fuck load about it.

    and btw, the lady who died had a family, and it was a very tragic thing, no one has the right to laugh about it. Not even americans obviously.

  • Let's laugh at their 2000 dead in the towers and see if they think it's funny that a family woman died.

  • lol

  • cxvh makes me LOL. Jonas Brothers suck each other off. "greasy canadiens"? LOLOL

  • And by the way America owns your asses. So you better lay down some respect. In case you canadien cowards don't know, America is the most powerful notion on this planet. Got it?

  • Canada owns YOUR ass

  • "notion" i know u meant nation but holy shit ur a dumb ass, and anyways China is the most powerful

  • Too bad the American Education System failed to teach you proper English.

  • CXVH you think you're country is strong? You're in billions of dollars in debts you're economy sucks and other countries want there fucking money.

  • Everyone knows Us is the shit tank below Canada

  • Actually Moseley76 the US is better known these days as CANADA SOUTH.

  • At the rate Americas debts are going there going to start selling lands, Lol New France! South Canada! West Korea!

  • Shitty tank*

  • You're so powerful and you're education is so great...Oh by the way it's spelled NATION dumb ass.

  • KNIGHTKOBRA: apparently your education hasn't helped you to spell "your" correctly - dumb ass with bells on

  • Airportris are you for real? Seriously the whole world knows that your all a bunch of fairies. You rely on the power and strength of America to protect you. Can you really sleep at night knowing just how weak you really are?

  • This just goes to show that god hates country music, and kevin costner

  • No, people dont hate country music and kevin costner.. obviously the idiots just didnt set up the stage right.

  • you are an idiot cxvh. shut up and eat a twinkie you obese homophobe.

  • We must be pussies cause we don't buy you're shitty American propaganda, The Jonas brothers are faggots. You little teenage girl. Why don't you go fantasize about the Jonas brothers you little faggot.
