Tragedy At Stones Show
My goodness...Via Billboard: *Two workers died today (June 29) after part of the set from a Rolling Stones concert collapsed on top of them as they were dismantling it, emergency services in Madrid said. A third man was seriously injured after four people fell from a 33-foot structure that gave way as the team helped take it down after last night's concert in Madrid.
Identities of the victims were not given, but about half the workers dismantling the set were English-speaking and traveling with the Rolling Stones tour, emergency services said.*
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the stagehands' families and friends.

I worked stage construction for the during the "Steel Wheels" tour at Foxboro, two guys had died earlier that tour when a load shifted on a lift and it fell over.
It was a miracle no one died at Foxboro, guys were working over 24 hours in a row, high on coke. Not a good thing when you're 60 feet up in the steel.
I'm not sure how responsible teh Stones are for this, but their organization doesn't appear to be too tight a ship.
