I guess 4 people were killed and many more were hurt. Such a gnarly video.

At least 5 killed so far, it's pretty bad.  There was people trapped underneath it.

Holy hell. I saw the cell phone video, but that was the first high quality video I've seen.

And 4 people were killed on the spot, and another man died overnight.

I don't know for sure, but it looks like the same type of stage that collapsed at bluesfest in Ottawa this summer. really unfortunate.

as insensitive as it sounds, this.

i got chills watching that.

also that sky was fucking ridiculous

From the CNN article

Spectators grabbed parts of their seats to assemble makeshift stretchers, Hoehn said.

"Everyone rushed to help, and we saw people searching and pulling people out," she said. "(I) saw five people go away on stretchers. It was amazing how many people ran in to try to lift the scaffolding."
