Even when she was interviewed by WTHR about recording it, she was laughing about it. I don&#39;t think she fully comprehended the extent of what she had just documented.Gary R.

The announcement indicated the concert might be postponed or cancelled, but they had not ordered the people to evacuate the area. People had started to leave the area before the stage collapsed.Gary R.

It&#39;s not totally clear but I think in the first few seconds of the video there seems to be a voice from a loudspeaker ordering &quot;Clear the area.&quot;. It looks like they were trying to evacuate the stage area before the collapse.Jeff Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896694141148386531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-90981894286361898622011-08-14T07:44:03.097-05:002011-08-14T07:44:03.097-05:00How horrible that this happened. Sugarland fans are such sweet people, and reportedly, the only reason that Suglarland was not on the stage, was because they were in a prayer circle. It is wonderful how afterwards, Hoosiers banded together to help each other.Marycatherine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674049191412285346noreply@blogger.com
