This is a really terrible tragedy. What can you say? It's just bad! People out having a good night outside enjoying themselves and then boom! God be with all involved and their families.

I think anyone who has ever been to a race or concert at the Fairgrounds feels a cold chill on hearing of this.

Thoughts and prayers to those in attendance and to those involved in the rescue efforts.

My wife and I were at a concert there on Wednesday. The home movies they are showing of it are really scary. Prayers for those injured and the families of those who lost their lives.

So far four dead and 24 sent to hospital. It fell into a VIP area that was housing 200. They had apparently told everyone to get out before the storm, but it wasn't fast enough. Some of the rigging for stages I seen sorta scare me when it comes to weather. This one was twice as big as others I have seen. I really feel sorry for anyone there (hurt or unhurt) because if they weren't hurt, that had to be freaking scary. I did hear that people, after the stage fell, rushed to lift up the stage and help people get out.

Been watching Indy news for almost 2 hours. Listening to eyewitness accounts...very scary. Those who were there are saying they expect the number of fatalities to go up.

Pray for those that were there....one of those things that makes you think someone bigger than you has a plan....

I just turned tickets to this show earlier because my parents decided to drive up....I would have been in the section where the stage fell.....

Very scary and hoping there aren't any more fatalities than have already occurred.....
