  • Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse

  • @shampoovta - Similar in nature with similar outcomes, a gust front or microburst with winds of 60+ mph are not uncommon with strong storms. Temporary structures are more vulnerable in these events and what happened in Indiana was most unfortunate. Best wishes in recovery for all affected in this tragedy and our condolences go out to the families of those who lost loved ones and friends.

  • nice job :)

  • @crazymaze22 Thank you.
