Who doesn't want to go see their favorite bands on stage to perform? You get go out with friends or family and create a memory of a lifetime. The excitement is palpable, the crowd is full of energy, and the drinks are flowing. Afterward you go home and happily tell anyone who listens what a great time you had. What if you didn't get to go home? What if it ended in tragedy and you were a witness to the disaster that ensued? I have 3 stories for you today on just that. Join me while I tell you about the Station Night Club fire, the Indiana State Fair stage collapse, and the Love Parade. 3 shows that should've left guests leaving with a smile that instead left them with nightmares.
