stuff like this is tragic. Doesn't surprise me that it happened at state fair though. a lot of the equipment they use is dodgy, at least to the ones i've been to.

Thank you cast! I'm still in shock! 4 of my friends or ok now, havn't gotten any reply of the other two yet, but they say on the news that all the families of the victims have been warned by now, so hopefully everything is ok with them!
