I dont think it was the contractors fault or maybe a little bit, but did you notice that fucking wind?

That was obvious it was going to fall.. Why wasn't it cancelled?

The structure doesn't even look strong enough in the first place...

I'm pretty sure the contractors will be long gone

And sued..

Theres some article speaking they built the stage in a rush, and refused to cancel it because their was going to be a pack of fans.

Amazing that it was captured on video. Equally amazing no one thought twice about the structure.

Whoever built it would not be at fault. Most likely it would be the event organizers that get sued seeing as the crew that sets those things up have no real technical knowledge regarding the limits of the stage, that and whoever thought it was a good idea to hold a o=concert in a lightning storm is retarded.

The Stage should have been built to withstand such events even if the weather was not predicted to be as it was that night. IF maybe the builders were being rushed (such as by the event organizers) to finish it they should have simply said It isn't safe.

It's a shame people died because of this. Event organizers and constructors should pass from trial.

The people who build these things are highschool educated and dont have a degree in structural Engineering. their job is to assemble the structure and thats it. I dont think they should get the blame for doing their job.
