Raw Footage: Belgium Stage Collapse [Pukkelpop Festival, Hasselt, RT]

Uploaded by KnewWorldNoing on Aug 19, 2011
A sudden storm that swept through a popular open-air music festival in Belgium has left five people dead and more than 70 injured after two stages collapsed. The bad weather also toppled trees and brought down giant screens at the venue. There was panic among festival-goers as rains poured down and winds whipped up. Organizers estimate 60,000 people were at the event at the time. Organisers cancelled the annual Pukkelpop festival near Hasselt, 50 miles (80 kilometres) east of Brussels. Buses and trains were pressed into service to transfer the 60-thousand festival goers home. Thousands of mud-splattered young people, many of them shoeless, trekked down the avenue leading from the festival venue to train and bus stations in Hasselt. Many had stayed on in the camping ground in the vain hope that the performances would continue on Friday. The three-day festival's lineup featured internationally known acts, including Foo Fighters, Eminem and The Offspring.
