Would it have killed you to add even _a bit_ of voiceover?

Was that asking too much?

The roof collapse is due to lack of building maintenance. Water had gotten into the structure. Over time, freeze, thaw weakened the brickwork. I saw it in PA once. A brickwall collapsed. Water had gotten in behind it and froze. Pushing the wall out.

Stop spending money on corrupt wars and repair your country and people.

This roof violence needs to stop. We need to ban assault roofs now!!

It's creepy when they don't have a reporter talking over the video

[markkilgore]

And all of a sudden this is a political issue. Nothing but hate posted here connected to a video that simply said a roof collapsed.

Well whoever was playing that night really blew the roof off that place

NBC news won’t even says a word except at the end “thanks for watching” lol 😂 it just a Video, no news report.

This would have been a lot more useful with a voice over telling us what happened... I'm not even sure why you bothered to post this!

I hope everyone injured gets better, and the missing are found, and I hope the families of the dead are comforted in their sorrow.

They probably reported structural damage many times.

It’s crazy that this happened at a Morbid Angel show

OMG! That is frightening. So sad for the life that was lost.

[Theokaj]

I feel like I’ve seen this in final destination

There’s a difference between a music venue and a rap concert

[ellas]

Where's Lori's statement on the tragedy?

[jacobsmith]

The roof, the roof, the roof is on FIRE!

[benwildfong]

We should ban all roofs. Common sense roof control is needed.

Must have been an smei auto-assault roof
