Anyone seen this?

News report can be found here:

Video of the collapse, you do see people getting trapped underneath so I really wouldn't suggest watching it if you're likely to be affected by those kind of scenes.

Pretty shocking really, a big stage like that should surely be capable of taking 50 mile an hour winds, but then it does look pretty flimsy really, especially compared to the stages we have at our festivals here.
