Sudden, but forecast, wind gusts quickly blow down staging for political rally in Mexico, killing at least 9. Based on footage I have seen, the ground-based truss system did not appear to have any guy-wire support. #DimTheLights #WeightWiresWeather

The summer season is arriving, & it's a good time to remember the three main safety issues related to outdoor shows:

2. Wires (overhead power lines)
3. Weather (wind, storms, & high heat)
