Dozens Injured in Indiana High School Stage Collapse

[Capt. Obvious]

Dozens of students were injured—at least one critically—when the stage dramatically collapsed during a show at an Indiana high school Thursday night.

The students were reportedly concluding a performance of the musical “American Pie,” when the stage gave way, sending about two dozen of them tumbling down into an orchestra pit.

“We have some seriously injured people,” a fire chief told The Indy Star. “Not one hospital is going to be able to handle this many patients.”

It’s still unclear how many were actually involved, but WTHR reports at least 16 students were hospitalized.

1. Definitely a showstopper!

Will Pat Robertson realize this is Gay Jesus's punishment for Governor Pence's discrimination law?

2. Scary!

Imagine being a parent of one of those kids and watching your child perform on stage, and then seeing this. I hope they're all right.

3. Did officals ask if any of the first responders were gay?

Just sayin'.............

Anyway, I hope all the injured recover quickly
