[QUOTE="Christian Tepfer, post: 34250, member: 108"] Re: Indiana Stage Fair Stage Collapse Bringing in the PA would have helped but there are 2 factors that make a move like that hard to do: 1. Time. The winds seemed to move in so fast that even an evacuation was not possible. 2. Human hesitation. Killing time additionally, people seem to wait too long, keeping fingers crossed, hoping the condition will move away and the show can go on, until it's too late for a proper reaction. This brings me to some fundamental questions: Why must stages be so tall, especially in regions where there is the possibility of high winds? Why must they be made from aluminium? Why was there no (don't know the correct word in english) diagonal reinforcement in the towers? Why was the PA not in seperate towers? This brings me to an even more fundamental question? Why must the show always go on? [/QUOTE]
