@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.

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!

@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.

@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.
