OT - Tragedy at the Indiana State Fair

Charles Nungester · 8/14/11, 1:34 AM

I pray for all involved and to the families of those lost and injured. The first thing that I seen when i came home was someones video posted on facebook and I thought, How classless to do that. The whole stage folded over and basically fell the width of the stage toward turn one of the track.

Shame of it is. They never learn. This happened just two weeks ago at a Cheap Trick concert somewhere.

RIP and again. Prayers to those injured and lost.

WFMS just posted on their facebook page that a 5th person has passed as a result. Thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

Tragic. You never expect something like that to happen.

My sincere thoughts and prayers for all those families who lost someone and for all the families who had loved ones severely hurt. May God give strength and healing to those still recovering.

Thanks to Tony Stewart for remembering the victims and others affected during his Raceday interview this morning...

I get mad at him sometimes but really appreciate that his Hoosier roots run deep.

and also thanks to Tomas Scheckter who will auction his helmet after today's indycar race at new Hampshire and donate the proceeds to the victim's families. Very selfless and classy.
