  • AGAIN, I WILL BLOCK YOU AND DELETE YOUR COMMENT IF IT IS NEGATIVE AND INSULTING!!! SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIED....

    FOLLOW THIS RULE: IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!!!!  YOU MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO USE IT ON HERE... I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE YOUR COMMENT

  • This is a HORRIBLE tragedy. Just think, if this happened 5 minutes earlier or even 10 minutes later, the opening acts and/or Sugarland could be DEAD. This is a horrible, but we are so lucky it happened when no one was performing. Aside from that, every last person who is hurt or in critical condition has my thoughts and prayers. How the hell can 40 people LIKE this, this is a HORRIBLE TRAGEDY!!! People have DIED! Do those 40 people have no respect for human life?! Anyway, my prayers to everyone.

  • @UltimateSith1 Yeah, I believe they were about ready to go on stage when this happened. Thank goodness they are alright!

  • @rmyontz I don't see how it is... It's a tragedy that many people are wondering what happened. Yes people died, and I feel terrible for their families and friends, but this video can be used to remind people of the dangers of putting on a concert... And since I DO that kind of work, it's a great reminder to me that this can happen to me as well...

see all

  • WHAT THE HELL how do 67 like this, sick people people DIED there are some bitchy stuff in this world happening

  • another redneck buys the farm

  • @momoyen Your first sentence is dumb, of course I know what youtube is! As you so cleverly stated, I have an account. As for the rest, maybe some people do like a video for that reason. I don't, but we all have our opinions and ways of showing appreciation. I say 'thanks for uploading' in a comment if I want to show I appreciate it and I hit the like button if I LIKE THE VIDEO and what's happening in it. It's just my way of doing that, you don't have to agree with it.

  • 4 people have been pronounced dead already

  • May God's presence be seen and felt by all those impacted by this devastating event. I don't believe God causes this kind of pain, but I do believe He never wastes a hurt.

  • omg i hope those people are ok...omg

  • omg i pray for all who are hurt!

  • According to NWS Indianapolis, they issued Severe Thunderstorm Warning at 8:39 pm. The stage collapsed at 8:55 pm according to Indianapolis Police. Officials at Indiana State Fair are claiming that they tried to warne people at 8:50 pm of severe storm.... so people had 5 minutes of warning BUT they should had gotten 10-15 minutes of warning and cleared the area. RIP to the deads and prayers for those who are affected by this tragedy.

  • @pjz037

    ppl died.  At least 4 dead.

  • Fairgrounds can be dangerous places in bad weather. Temporary structures even well secured can't survive strong winds.  Several people were killed at the NY State Fair about ten years ago during a bad storm (though, not in a concert stage situation like this). So sorry that there were deaths here
