The fans at the Indiana State Fairgrounds' Hoosier Lottery Grandstand were being evacuated Saturday night to the nearby Pepsi Coliseum when a wind gust brought down the stage rigging for the country music concert.
The gust of the wind brought down the production equipment shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, according to Indianapolis Star reporter David Lindquist, who was at the fairgrounds for the Sugarland concert.
The entire stage rigging collapsed, this is bad, this is very bad, Lindquist said moments after it happened.
Medics and rescue crews throughout Indianapolis converged on the State Fairgrounds, 1202 E. 38th St. Roads in and around the fairgrounds were blocked to allow ambulances to get in and out of the track area.
Emergency workers established a command center and triage area to tend to the injured. Those hurt were being moved to a tunnel below the Grandstand Stage.
It was like it was in slow motion, you couldnt believe it was actually happening, said concertgoer Amy Weathers, Centerville.
According to Lindquist, opening act Sara Bareilles finished her set by commenting what a beautiful night it was.
Less than 30 minutes later the stage set was on the ground.
