Hearing and talking about it is one thing, but when you actually see it, it's just horror.
Peace and goodwill to all speaker builders

5 people have died, and countless injured. This is the second stage collapse in north america this year. Sad and horrible.

Seems like they have been lax on safety standards as of late.

Last years looked much better. Not really sure, they said it was a wind gust. Seems these things should be built to withstand that. I'll stick to my ground stacks.

they should put some walls up and diagonal bracing as that roof is miles high. from the video of this year, most of the weather comes in sideways!!

does look like an terrible bit of structural planning

lazy riggers relying on the two/three/four point fixes on each junction as integrated bracing
