Sugarland devastated by fair collapse comments

Welcome to America and particularly pop culture. They love you right up until they see they can profit off of you. People actually are suing Captain Sullenberger after he glided a powerless plane on to the Hudson. Lawyers are killing this nation.

Really if you live in Indiana, you should know the weather by now and what it can do, It can turn deadly in a heartbeat, To say that Sugarland is responsible is insane. You take your chances by going to an outdoor event like this. Check the weather first, if it looks like it's going to get nasty, swallow your losses and stay home. Better safe than sorry

You CANNOT blame the "performers" for an "Act of God"! They do NOT 'own' the venue, they were simply contracted to perform at a certain time -for a certain length of time. They CANNOT, possibly, be 'held accountable' for a storm that moved in that the stage and rigging could not handle. They had NOTHING to do with that aspect. They are just lucky that they, too, were not victims of that incident. GREEDY bustards are after them because they have "deep pockets"! SHAMEFUL !!

not their fault stop blaiming the inocent

I'm sorry, did the two members of Sugarland personally install all of the stage lighting and equipment? No? Okay then. They certainly didn't make the stage collapse. It could've been a freak tornado and the group would still be blamed. I'm sorry people died, but there's always a safety risk every day, every where. It's no different than the people who were killed at the Nevada air show when the pilot lost control of the plane and it crashed into the stands. It was a freak accident. Yes the families should be compensated, somehow. But to personally blame Sugarland is just stupid.

Sugarland had nothing to do with the assembly of the stage. I feel bad for those injured, and for the families of those who died, but they are cheapening their grief by the ridiculous claim that Sugarland is in any way responsible for the stage collapse. It's looking more and more like it's about the money now, and not the loss of life.

Um...was there an actual article that I just missed somewhere, or was that actually JUST a headline?

personal responsibility is nonexistent. Check the weather and judge for yourself if it’s safe to stay in weather like that. People didn’t want to give up their seats, they took a risk and lost. Sorry for the loss of life but never allow someone else to tell you a situation is safe when money and a schedule are involved.

People always have to blame somebody. I wish Sugarland the best, I am not a country music fan but I do like them.

I could see if they put the stage up themselves that it would be their fault. Lets be realistic here whoever put it up is responsible. Blame the persons that built it not the ones that were gonna use it!

I can not see how it would be sugar lands fault for the lighting & sound to be at blame they were their to do a show not to set up the stage for the show, I am sorry for the people who lost loved one that night. It in away is trying to make people feel guilty for what maybe God did that night, we can not control what he does can we, Ask your self that question!

Well then they need to fire their attorney if they really feel like that. Why haven't they done that yet?

the media has an agenda about Sugarland?=chaos in the minds of people by writng this crap ===am i supposed to blame a store in joplin on may 23 2011 for tornado deaths ---a student of mine his mother is killed going to get pizza for their party =is it the pizza places fault or an "act of god" .....for such wonderful caring people that sugarland is ..it is terrible 4them to get any wrath for this because they are nice people i personally know them ........ I THINK WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE IS THE DEMONIC ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA TRYING TO HARM PEOPLE WHO ARE INHERENTLY GOOD FOLKS.........can you understand what i just said ???? these workers of greed will stop at nothing -they will even just make it up as they go along ==theatre of the absurd for the sheeple masses to gossip ....if anyone is responsible here its the people who frikin ran the fair and sold tickets .....

lawyers sensationalizing tragedy for profit? No way!

Have you seen the guys that work at Fair Grounds??? After I reach about 15..I never went back to ride anything at a fair again. And Im sure they had a helping hand on erecting the stage for the show

If it's an act of God, why didn't the lawyers sue God or his self proclaimed representatives on Earth?

I was going to read this article, but at the top there was an ad for Bill Maher. Can't stand him, so I passed.

Awsome article yahoo. 0 words.

If you design something, construct something, and it falls on people, it's your stupidity, not the fault of the fans, the wind, or God.

Simple, whose equipment was it and who set it up? The other end is, was it expected to be windy or not that day. If not, it'an act of God, if it was, then it was negligence by the provider of service, IE: Lighting/stage people who set things up.
