I am sure some or most have heard of the Stage that collapsed at IN State Fair right before the Sugarland Concert last Saturday night. It has been horrible for many victims families, and those who were there. The wind that night was pretty strong, where I live there was gusts over 50mph measured...before the storm. I took me by surprise, so I know it also took the State Fair officials and security somewhat by surprise.
One of the physicians I work for was at the concert and barely missed being hit. Here is his story that way on AOL news page today. Dr. Robert Klinestiver one of our pulmonary specialist was on the news because he helped those who were injured..but he and his daughter narrowly escaped being hurt. Now he is on national news.

I know there are a few here from Indy, or this area...what have been your feelings on safety.
Does anyone else have any comments... terrible thing to happen, but do you think it could have been prevented? The stage was put together by a sound company not even a mile from my home... so locally, it has effected many.
Tonight I saw on the news where the lawsuits are already going.. I hate that really.
