Re: Indiana Stage Fair Stage Collapse
From every video I've seen... I saw no evidence of ballast on the truss legs, or, any guy wires.
The roof fell downstage left.
It appears as if the Stage left piece of roof canvas tears loose (or isn't properly secured) at the upstage center and starts to tear from the roof towards the downstage, stage left, side....causing a sail. (Downwind). (the stage right piece of canvas seems to stay intact)
There is a circular video screen or logo, hanging from the upstage center piece of truss. It's flat side turns toward the wind. It also appears as if there is additional video screens on both sides (left & right) of the circular piece. I'm guessing that these three pieces may have acted as sails.
Where was the roof crew chief? Why wasn't this show called, they had noted previous weather reports?
This is an unfortunate mess.
