At the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium last night a very intense storm wreaked havoc on the concert goers and campers. A stage collapse, reminiscent of the Indiana State Fair disaster last week, and reportedly 5 people were killed. This video clip shows a band onstage performing to rain soaked crowds, when debris from the storm gust front begins pelting the stage. As it begins to hail, concert goers and performers flee. Not a good place to be in a big storm. Why the concert continued is a mystery to me. Guess Belgium doesn't get severe storms? Sad and very scary event. The remainder of the 3-day festival has been cancelled.
