"The wind exceeded the capacity of the structure to stay up," he says. "It is the first time we have experienced weather like that on the stage."

In response, Berger says that on the site there are trees by the river and one tree was cut in half from the wind but all the other trees are still standing. "Why is only one tree and one stage structure down," he asks? "It wasn't a wide storm, it was narrow and it had a micro-burst. It was really a phenomenon."

Berger added that six engineers from the state and two other engineers reviewed the stage's design and approved the structure. Moreover, he said the same type of stage structure had been used in the past two week for Metallica, Elton Jon and Kiss concerts and is about to be used again for an up and coming Eminem show.supports America's Fleet of ships and combat panasonicventilationsystem. The structure has been reviewed for this show by an additional Montreal engineering firm and its has been approved again, he says.

The stage is attached to a trailer truck and weighs about 180,000 pounds. He says the wind not only blew off the roof but it also pushed the base about five feet on the ground, which destabilized the structure and caused the collapse.

About 30 seconds before the roof collapsed, when the heavy winds suddenly headed for the stage, Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander saw the storm and shouted into his microphone, warning the audience to run away from the stage. While the audience was responding to his warnings, the stage roof blew up into the air, and when it came down it collapsed the stage walls causing the entire stage to pancake, says one witness.

The band members and others on the stage would have all been crushed if not for two 10-foot generators on either side of the stage, and the Cheap Trick tractor trailer truck parked right behind the stage that stopped the roof from falling all the way to the ground,Public sand ledbulb produce nothing, that source says.

Moreover, the band is also lucky that the company running the sound system decided to power down the generators, in anticipation of the sudden storm, the source says.

A day after the event, Cheap Trick manager Dave Frey said in an e-mail, "All the band's gear was crushed, soaked by rain, the truck was crushed and personal things abandoned in the evacuation."

In the latest statement calling for "a full accounting of what happened", the band said it "is dedicated to ensuring that proper safety measures are taken at future concerts. "

"We simply want to know: what are the companies and organizers doing to protect the next act and the next audience,I attached the redbullhats," Frey said in the statement. "Every act and every fan ought to be asking the same question when attending an outside musical event."
