[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 34384, member: 153"] Re: Another Stage Collapse Hello Milt.. This guy..Tim Ballisty, works for the Weather Channel, not the NOAA, he is not the local Indianapolis News station weatherman, nor does he work for the Indianapolis Weather Service. I don't think he came forward a few days later "to save his industry's collective ass"....or anything else. His ass was NEVER on the line, neither was his industry's. Their only job is to try and accurately predict the weather. These weather broadcasters cannot be responsible for each and every person, whether they've seen or heard the weather broadcasts or not. It's a crap-shoot as to whether someone will consider their warnings. ...As you've admitted. He (or his co-workers) report the weather conditions for all parts of this Country, and most, all of the World. The Graphics from his article were not generated by him or anyone associated with him personally, but, by the NOAA. Is it possible that it took a couple of days to get those graphics from the NOAA after the fact..? As the article states...the whole area had been warned of a severe thunderstorm warning ...for at least two days prior, and for the whole day leading up to the incident. The Promoters knew... but, decided to chance it....like many people do. I think a lot of the crowd had blindly put their faith in the hands of the Show's organizers when the show wasn't publicly cancelled. After all...this was a STATE FAIR, our leaders are supposed to have OUR best interest at heart....right? Why do you think that the Weather Service has the responsibility to contact anyone directly regarding an approaching storm? Do you believe they have the manpower...after all, they are BROADCASTING WARNINGS. Hammer [/QUOTE]
