What happens when STWs aren't heeded. (Indiana State Fair)

A warning, the video is shocking. A little surprising that there wasn't anyone there with half a brain about whether to alert the organisers. Manslaughter charges against them? Quite possibly. You'd think the Indiana community would be up the weather??

Four people are dead and a dozen were injured, shows how seriously you do have to take warnings issued.
