Men and women, young and old, enjoyed music popular in the 1960s and 70s, performed from a temporarystage erected on the grassy scrubland that is District Six today.
The collapse is, as of this writing, about to claim its seventh victim, Meagan Toothman, 24, a high school cheerleading coach from Cincinnati. (On Aug. 22, her organs were being harvested for transplant.) Much of it will focus on the construction of the temporarystage itself, which could not withstand a 70 mph wind gust, and fell forward onto the crowd.
Certainly, no one could have foreseen the stage collapse, what with temporary outdoor stages not being subject to inspection on state-owned properties in Indiana.
