Saturday, June 16, 2012 - Toronto, Canada - Workers erecting the stage for a Radiohead concert scattered as the framework above the stage came crashing down, pining and killing one worker. The weather was calm and wind did not appear to be a factor. Arial shots of the aftermath show a scaffold style framework that did not involve portable concert trussing. The incident occurred at around 4:00PM before the concert and any audience had been allowed into the venue. The concert was cancelled.
According to Ian McClellend with the cities' EMS department, one man was extricated from under the wreckage and pronounced dead at the scene; another was transported to the hospital with head injuries; and two more were assessed with minor injuries and released on the scene.
The Canadian Ministry of Labour will be investigating to see what the root cause of the structure collapse was.
