Bluesfest Main Stage Collapses During Thunderstorm!

Holy shiz! This is absolutely TERRIFYING!

Last night, during Ottawa's Bluesfest, the main stage collapsed during a severe thunderstorm only MINUTES after the band Cheap Trick stopped their set and exited the stage, leaving multiple people injured, but thankfully, no deaths.

Check out a video of the shocking collapse (above).

Unbelievable. It seriously looks like something out of a disaster movie - especially seeing as it was such a freak accident.

So scary.

We're just relieved to hear that no lives were lost, and hope that those suffering from injuries recover as quickly and painlessly as possible.

      That's why they call it the Blues.

      Yeah, I agree with arieldb. The band had left the stage maybe 30 seconds before it collapsed, not minutes.
