I heard X49 make the original call to Dist 52, you could tell it was bad by his voice. He later called for 10-79 and a crane.
Task Force 1 on scene now to make sure everyone is out from under the tarp. It landed partly in a VIP area.

For all those who complain about the RR archives -- I hope someone pulls out the pertinent timeframe and saves this one. The responders are doing a VERY impressive job with ICS.

4 died according to Chuck Lofton WTHR on scene

there is a youtube channel that takes RR archives of major incidents and posts them on his/her youtube channel. i sent that person a message on youtube asking him/her to record + post this incident.

I've been recording much of it since the first call by X49...... going to have a full card on the HP....

Thanks Viper43 - even better than piecing together the archive. With the initial stage winding down this might be a good time to break it up!

Command confirms 24 people were transported. People who constructed the stage says it can snap at any time, so they are pulling out.

I can't believe none of the TV stations have an live stream going. Is it on TV? I saw video from WTHR on CNN..

3 of the 4 stations have covered it all night, WISH TV8 ran promos about how good their breaking news coverage is for well over an hour while showing 48 Hours Mystery instead.
