Video: Indiana State Fair Tragedy; Four Dead


A stage collapse in high winds at the Indiana State Fair has left four dead and some fair goers possibly still trapped under the collapse.
The audience was waiting for a performance by the country group Sugarland when high winds apparently blew the stage forward onto the crowd.
Here's an excerpt of the breaking story from wire services:
Details on the conditions of those injured were not immediately known. Indiana State Police told The Associated Press they were still working to gather information and did not have anything to release yet.
Emergency crews were called to the scene. Workers were setting up a command center to tend to those who were injured.
Thousands of concert-goers were being evacuated to a nearby building because of high winds when the rigging for the stage fell onto the track where some were seated.
