Re: Indiana Stage Fair Stage CollapseI've been in my busiest part of the year and haven't heard of this until today. What a sad outcome when lives are lost in this and any situation. I'm sure we all send our thoughts and prayers to the friends and families of those killed and injured.I wonder why the roof panels were not engineered to let loose under a certain set of loading conditions. Some (temporary) structures under which I have worked would "tear away" the roof panels when the load threatened the frame. Better to lose the roof and get the gear wet than end up with a structural failure. But I'm just a layman wondering about this stuff.DR
