Holy Shit!

When I looked at the picture I wondered how it could happen, but the weather was crazy in that video. I'm a little surprised that people would turn up for a fair in that kind of storm.

I didn't see this in the news, when did it happen?

I think it happened on Saturday or Sunday. I didn't see it in the news either. Strange...

It happened in Ottawa a month ago at a Cheap Trick show as well and today it happened in Belgium.

It's a pretty poor run for riggers/grips atm... damn!

I wonder if stage design has changed recently?
