INDIANAPOLIS -- The crowd was poised in anticipation, including scores of
people pressed up against the stage, just seconds before country music
sensation Sugarland was to perform at the Indiana State Fair on Saturday
night.
.
Above the stage, nestled in the rigging, a crew member had taken his
position, ready to shine a spotlight on the action.
.
But the weather near the Indiana State Fairgrounds was starting to get
dicey. Backstage, Indiana State Police special operations commander Brad
Weaver was watching an ugly storm moving in on radar via his smartphone.
He and fair Executive Director Cindy Hoye decided it was time to evacuate
the crowd.
.
But a minute later, when the crowd was addressed, the word was that the
show would go on, and that the crowd should be prepared to find shelter if
things changed. Some of the crowd sensed the danger and left without
further word. But the majority remained.
.
Seconds later, a fierce wind blew in from the direction of the midway,
kicking up what one witness described as "a canopy of dust."
.
In a moment that eyewitnesses described as both terrifying and in slow
motion, the massive rigging above the stage bearing lights, sound
equipment and at least one crew member swayed menacingly and then came
crashing down on the crowd.
.
Four people were killed, a fifth died this morning in a hospital, and 40
others were injured severely enough that they needed to be taken to local
hospitals. More than 150 were treated at a makeshift triage unit at the
fairgrounds itself. It was a fairgrounds tragedy eclipsed in scale only by
a 1963 propane tank explosion at the Coliseum that killed 74 people.
.
The scope of the disaster led to the cancellation of today's events at the
fair.
